My grandmother made days of the week tea towels and I got a set when I was married the first time 20 years ago. I wanted to treasure this gift and put them in shadow boxes because they are a great memory of my grandmother. Well another marriage later and they are still sitting in my Ceder Chest. I think of them often. Although am I really treasuring them? My kids can not see them and ask about my grandmother. I can not even tell you what they look like. If I die..will my kids know where they came from? Nope..I have never talked about them. My kids will throw them out because I don't embroider, so I must not of done them.
So I want to sew them into a quilt to display. I know I can pull them out and use them..but I just can't bring my self to do that..HEHEHE
should I line each one with a white block? as they are thin and see threw?
There are lots of other things you could do with them. You could turn them into a valance. They would make neat mixer or toaster covers or something on that order. They would make great place mats. They could make really fun kids aprons.
