My friend Linda and I are somewhat of dish towel fanatics. We love to go to Anthropologie and check out the sale tables for their beautifully embellished ones. A couple of years ago I found some colored feed sack towels and bought a number of them to decorate for Day of the Dead. I made one set for Mandy and still have a huge bunch of them in the closet-unornamented. So in the midst of that project, Linda and I found these colored dish towels at Target. We went a little goofy buying a bunch of them. When I washed them, discovered they weren't as heavy as the ones from Fry's. In my attempt to beef them up a little, I came up with the idea in these pictures. Well, Linda and I decided we liked them so much that we made a special trip over to Joann's to buy trim fabrics. We had a special sewing day when we started on them. I think I made 4 or 5 that day. Last weekend, Linda got this project out and started working on it again. She inspired me to dig the towels out of the closet and I finally finished all the ones I had from Target.
This picture is for Linda because these are fabrics of hers that she shared with me. We both are a little freakish for Alexander Henry prints. Now I have to work on my messy house and lay off sewing for a while.

Way to make me look bad........I made 4 Easter towels, but got out the stuff to do a lot more. Boy those sure are cute!
PS. You're going to need to buy more towels.
You are a one woman assembly line. Each one is cuter than the one next to it. I'm kind of partial to the chicken print and the refrigerator printthough.
Are those your homemade bias tapes?
Miss Linder-you were my inspiration to get off my duff.
Auntie-yes, those are the bias tapes and those 2 towels shall be yours.
