Powder Room Towel


Last week while browsing on Etsy, I seriously love that place....I found a hand towel that grabbed my attention but instead of purchasing it, I decided to make one myself with that one as inspiration.

I purchased a terry cloth towel and made a border to attach to the bottom of the towel. The towel I purchased was pretty long, so instead of making the towel any longer I just made and attached my strip to the bottom section of towel, just the ruffle extends below the original towel. It will hang in my powder room. I bought a couple extra towels to make some to sell on Etsy....but who knows if that will ever happen. I think I may be running out of cold weather...as soon as it gets nice outside my stitching will take a back seat to playing in the gardens, mowing and pulling weeds!

Anyone else change their hobbies with the weather?

I tend to knit smaller items - like socks. It's pretty hard to knit a warm sweater in the middle of summer.
This summer, I may dabble in cotton though! :)

And I like my time for walking outside.

No gardening for me....just the VERY basics. It's just not in my blood.

Kay, your towel is beautiful. your stitching talents amaze me.

Yes, my hobbies change with the season, although I will say I am really into scrapbooking/card making this year. So, I might have to work out side and then take a needed break. ha

Your towel is so pretty & romantic! I might borrow the idea...

CQ is my wintertime hobby, in the summertime the real passion is gardening! From April to October I nearly live outdoors... It is so fun and also healthy!
