Better late than never right???
Did I tell you that the Island Batik fabric hardly fray?
Totally wonderful to applique with...raw edge or needle turn....
So I decided to make this bunting.
I love to sit and look at the fabulous fabrics.
I chose the lazy way out when I made these.
Looks like this when unfolded but you are going to leave it folded.
I sewed a seam with my sewing foot next to the edge of the pinking part and then a seam 5/8 from the top for the ribbon to go through.
Then I blanketstitched the lettering onto the fabrics.
Of course I did!!!
I love making hand towels and I love it even more when I go in my friends home and find it hanging on the stove handle.
To show you how much I love making them.....(that is an understatement)
I have a collection here:
You can tell I have been didgging....
A collection hanging here:
Some more here!!!
Great for a fast gift.
But I wanted to make some more Christmas ones
One day I will make myself one.
I truly loved using my Island Batik fabrics for each of these projects.
I also love using my Accuquilt Go cutter
There will be more later....looking for my Santa one but can't find him.....
It is raining here in Texas......time to take a book and hide somewhere.

Pretty fabrics and dish towels. Great gift idea anytime of the year, but truly perfect for the holidays.

Cute, cute, cute. I try to avoid applique. Mostly because I'm not very good at it. But, I sure like to see it on quilts.
Sam's club, Khols, our Brookshires had the bright colored ones, dollar store but mostly Khols.
these towels are such a cute idea!!
I love your Christmas bunting. Yikes girl! That's quite the collection of hand towels! But that's how it goes when you love and have fun making something. And Batiks are so great to sew with.
I need to remember that the Island Batiks are great for applique. I tend to avoid it because of the fraying.
All so very nice! I don't applique often, but when I do, I enjoy the process.
I'm crushing on all your towels! I thought I'd commented on this post. Glad I checked back! I enjoy applique, but don't do it often. XO
They are all beautiful!
Love the bunting, and the towels are cute, too!
