These Dish Towels

I've posted on this before but these dish towels are a hit and with good reason.  I hated to, but I had to increase the price.  They just take so much time.  

Be on the lookout for more groupings - lately I've made some for Mother's Day (see "GiGi" up top) and it's a great gift for a new mom of three, who already has all the baby supplies she could need.  

What else?  Let me know.

Two Boys

So I enjoyed making the Two Girls Towel and then a customer emailed me and asked if I could do two boys.  It was fun but I had no idea how to sew a boy's head until I realized he needed EARS!  Then it all came together.  She saw the proof today and was excited, yay!

Two Girls

After a good conversation with Jeanene, wondering how I can get material that I am excited about, I realized I can find inspiration anywhere.  I realized I can take my mom's passion for pictures of people from behind and put them in fabric.  I appreciate that I can take pretty much anything I love, any concept or photo and use fabric to put it in another form.  

These girls came from that, and I really love them.  I mean, really.  I love their dresses, their friendship, their quiet contemplation.  You will be seeing more of these girls. (I did buy skin colored fabric for next time!)

If you're like me and my sister, you really love dish towels.  

In an effort to find something that I could do in a little less time, I came up with this - the first of the dish towel series.  Cute, huh?  I've got a few other idea rolling around but we'll see what happens.
