old bureau scarves update

I decided to cut em in half, stitch the rough edge and use em as dish
towels. They all have a small hole or stain, I never cover bureaus,
and will NOT pay today's prices for a linen dish towel.
I had posted here a while back about converting them to napkins, but I
just know they would look very unprofesh, plus I have a drawerful of
cloth napkins.

Although this is a great use of old embroideries . . . you might find
that you will love sack cloths. They are very absorbent, lint free. I
love them for covering bread as it's rising, quick mop-ups, and when
they get old, I use them for dust cloths. They really last a long time.
