Confession: This towel was stitched by my great-grandmother in her late 80's. Even though it is full of holes and unusable, I can't get rid of it. I have other embroideries, but we were talking about towels, so that's what I photographed.
It's good to see hand embroidery making a comeback.
P.S. Thanks for the compliments. AZ Jane, come to FL and I'll teach you! My suspicion is that you are awesome without any help.
