When I first started quilting about 6 years ago, I bought a lot of novelty fabric….and florals. I’ve gotten over the urge to buy the novelties, but florals still call my name.
In my travels, I’ve seen these cute tea towels with a strip of novelty fabric on them so gave it a try. I’m not sure if tea towels is a British expression and you might know them as dish towels, but all my life they’ve been tea towels to me – the ones you dry the dishes with.
I initially cut out each square and satin stitched them onto the towel, but I didn’t like how that looked, so just went with the strip right across the towel.
Sandra, I hope you like the 2 sets of penguin ones because they’re for you!
I also found this with my Christmas fabric
so I’m going to make some of these up and donate them to Animal Aid. Who wouldn’t want to dry dishes with these cute little faces looking at you.
I’ve made about a dozen towels so far and I’ve used about 2 strips of fabric – that works out to about 6”. I guess this isn’t exactly a stash buster!

May not be a stashbuster, but they sure are cute!
Adorable!!! I love them!!!
Very cute and now you can make placemats to match. LOL You will use up more that way. :)
Oh, those towels are so cute! And I have the same puppy fabric, and some cats too I think. I had no idea what to do with it..until now! Thanks for the inspiration!
