Yesterday I jumped in to screen the tea towel gifts. I centered the design by marking the towels with lines using washable markers. I matched them up to marks that I put in the sides of the screen frame. You can see that I didn't apply the design centered on the frame. I'll see how well I did in a couple of days. I dyed the 4 tea towels along with some shirts. I planned to finish quilting both veterans quilts but I only got through one. I overdid it with my weights in my morning exercise and my shoulder wasn't interested in quilting very long. I'll finish this today. There was plenty of time left for the last 6 potholders! I think these are my favorites. This give me a total of 47 but I'm thinking of making a few more. I have some time before we leave for vacation and I don't really want to start anything else. It doesn't matter how many I make, it's always good to have a gift stash. I looked out the front door before dinner and saw that two of the deer have made themselves very comfortable in the front yard.
Today I'll wash out the dyed things, finish the second veterans quilt and maybe plan some tea towels to take to Maine as gifts.

I love those hand dyed potholders. I have hand dyed a few towels for my kitchen and I have one kitchen towel that I got from you. They are all well loved and well used.

I think those potholders are the prettiest too - but that could be....(you know what I'm going to say!). Comments are closed.
