All of a sudden I broke out in a cold sweat, the light bulb above my head was going off. I grabbed this fabric and went to town.
I started doing pleats.....and more pleats...watching the clock the whole time.
Shaking my head and thinking....Gal you have got to be nutzzzzzz. You have no business starting all of these towels. did that stop me? NO!!!
You can't see the wings on this one but after it is stitched it will be fine. I took the image off a few of these fabrics for the applique on the towels.
What possessed me? Why couldn't I stop. The whole time I was gone all I wanted to do was get back and finish the pleats and start what I had invisioned in my head,
When I got home....fabric started flying, glue sticks were being used up.
And so now..... everything is put away and all that is left is to stitch these down. The night is still young...
I don't know what came over me.....lost my senses I guess....

Well, at least your plotting and conspiring to bring joy this Christmas! Sometimes, when I have been especially sneaky, I realize the damage I could be doing if I weren't aiming for doing good. It scares me!! ;0)

Barb these are all so cute!!!
I love the pleats! What a fabulous job on the towels. I know exactly what you mean about needing to create. I have been a bit like that myself the last two weeks. I think I feel a pleating fit coming on now :D
What an amazing woman you are! The towels are lovely. I especially like the shape of the trees you have chosen.
Very cute towels. I know the feeling of obsession.
Oh Barb, these are adorable. You were working at a feverish pace. Hey, I hope that quilting fever is catching. Send me some please-I seem to be moving in slo-mo!
Merry Christmas
It doesn't look like you are any cards short of a deck...to me it looks like inspiration grabbed you by the booty and just took off!
Smiles,
Kelly
How fun are these! Well done!
Have a super great sewing and stitching day.
So cute, Barb! If that's what nutzzz is, I wanna be it, too!

What a great idea! The first stripe fabric was kinda boring, but your towels are exciting and too cute! I would say you were nutz in a very good way.
Wow! Amazing as usual. I love 'em.
Totally cool towels... I can see why they took over...
