You may have noticed a theme around here. I love to give gifts that will get used. I have a set of mixing bowls we received as a wedding gift that I use all the time. Whenever I get them out, I always think about our special day. So, when I was brainstorming ideas for wedding and anniversary gifts, I thought tea towels get used everyday! I made these with linen and they feel wonderful. I also added some details to match both couples’ kitchen colors.
I had planned to embroider their last initial on the towels, but everything I tried just didn’t work: cross stitch, back stitch, running stitch. I decided that maybe less was more, so I left the initials off.
inspiration: The pattern for these is in one of my new favorite books, Linen, Wool, Cotton. The linen fabric is a blend and the review on Joann’s website sounded perfect for tea towels. Thread was from my stash.
Very nice! and yes, sometimes less is more.
Love your creativity.
We love our new towels! They look great in the kitchen, however, I must admit, I’m hesitating to use them just yet because they’re SO nice. Very thoughtful! Thanks.
Love,
Mom and Dad
I love the simplicity. They are beautiful and look like something out of williams-sonoma!
