This one I also started two weekends ago after finding this ric-rack for 50 cents at JoAnns. It's such a pretty, lilac color!
This DMC 155 seems to match the Ric Rack perfectly! |
A loooong time back, I found this picture on the internet. Unfortunatly, I don't remember whose blog or site it was from, but I loved the way the towel came to a point with the design in the center. After a bit of playing around with different shaped towels, I figured out how to make one.
I cut a regular flour sack towel into a 17.5x17.5 square, then hemmed up the sides. I tacked on the ric-rack and eventually sewed it on by hand with DMC 155. |
Then I had to decide which lilac pattern to use.
I like this one, but it seemed a bit TOO fancy to go with the ric-rack. |
This one seems just right (without the NH Lilac wording) I'll keep you posted on my progress!

This is going to be beautiful Jen. Look forward to seeing it finished. Marion x
