embroider a set of dish towels

In cleaning and sorting in the basement, I found that I had ordered a dozen plain white dish towels for this project! Gosh, they must have come in a set that big, because I certainly don’t plan to embroider that many! I have been thinking of making a set of three or four, and I need to find the embroidery transfer design and get going on this. 4 years ago

I’ve selected two transfers to start off with and have started embroidering one of them. They’re supposed to be a housewarming gift for someone who moved into their house two weeks ago, so I’m hoping to get the towels completed before they have been in the house for a year ;) 5 years ago

I have:

• a set of white dish towels (ok, a dozen – I’d like to start with embroidering four of them)
• an ample supply of embroidery thread (and it’s sorted according to color group too!)
• an embroidery hoop
• needles
• transfers for embroidering towels

I need to:

• gather up supplies so everything is in one spot
• decide what transfers to use
• iron transfer(s) onto towel(s)
• start embroidering! 6 years ago

I went and bought towels, needles, patterns, and I have a lot of the thread… so here we go. :) I practiced last night, and I’m going to start on my first one this afternoon. Hopefully it doesn’t all end up dusty under my bed! 6 years ago
