Sharing a common thread with those who love the art of hand embroidery

November is almost gone

 and I have found myself drifting farther and farther away from the busy world of the internet and more into keeping my hands busy with my needle.  There is not much to do outside as the short sunny days hold a chill from the nights that are getting colder. 

Some of the things I have been stitching on are dish towel sets that I plan to sell in my vintage shop.
I want to accumulate a few sets then make my announcement to the public that they are ready
for purchase.
This certain set of towels have printed days of the week with different blocks of color.
I decided to match and tint the dish transfer design to the block color of the towel it was on.
Each dish towel set will not all be the same. Some days of the week will be embroidered, some designs will not be tinted. 
Along with this dish towel set idea, I have so many other projects that are waiting for embroidery.
I hope this finds that you all have had a blessed Thanksgiving day and are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas holiday season ahead!

The towels are beautifully done. I have no doubt they'll be snapped right up!

It's always nice to see a post from you. I like to see what you've been up to.
I love what you did to embellish those tea towels.

Yes, November is almost gone. It just slipped away so fast and Christmas is not far away.

Take care and keep that needle and thread busy.
Hugs, Julia

Beautiful towels for the kitchen... what a great idea of ​​yours to embroider them so beautifully. If I lived near you, I would come to buy :-)))
We are fully preparing for Advent and to my delight there is now the most wonderful powder snow.
A hug to you.
I wish you much joy and success in your work.

Today is the last day of November and I'm ready for cooler weather, not snow and ice, but chilly mornings.

The tea towels are beautiful and will be a wonderful gift for some blessed lady.
