A close friend is having a home built and she wants a set of towels for her kitchen so I am making her a dozen. One for each month.
Since I have been decorating kitchen towels for years now, I went through my stash of towels and re-modified the ones that were not wide enough.
One year I was totally out of towels and I asked my daughter to shop around for me since she lived in a bigger city and all she was able to find at the time were some Target valentine towels.
Because they were not wide enough for my stove or anyone else's I just stuck them in a drawer.
In one of the pictures you will see the small pink Target towel versus my redone version.
I stitched up February 1st so now I just have 11 to go but they are all redone with new borders so it is just a matter of adding the embroidery.
The design I used I believe came from embroidery library.

What a difference Betsy , I love the renewed look much better and as always your embroidery is wonderful!
That is one of my weaknesses is towels.....I am drooling here...
My mom and I exchange towels frequently. My husband thinks towels are an odd attraction I have, but my mom understands! Great idea for a calendar set!
I just sent you an email, Fabriholics may be easier to do than you thought - if you keep winning giveaways!
The addition of the border around the towel is delightful. A more custom look.
