That reminds me of the flour sack dish towels I did for my "Hope Chest" back in the 60s. Reminded me of the flour sack panels my Gram put into a "summer quilt" for me -- no batting, just front and a muslin back; "quilting" was feather stitch embroidery between each square and sashing through to to the back.

Thanks Mary. I've got other things I am working on and have finished but
they aren't anything to do with quilts. "maryd" wrote in message ... That's great for a first quilt.

I did a set of embroidered dish towels for my MIL recently and she loved
them. They were all vintage bluebirds. She had hinted of wanting some towels for her new home in FL but she loved them so much she's keeping them in MI at their first home instead. LOL I guess I need to make some that are needing a Florida home now. Vicki "maryd" wrote in message ...
