Welcome to Main Street Stitching. I hope you enjoy my blog. It is a dream come true for me. I have always
enjoyed making crafts, sewing & quilting and I look forward to sharing this
with you.
I can't believe the month of January is almost over. I must say ol'man winter has finally descended on the Mid-Atlantic. So I'm staying inside looking thru my stash pulling out some fabric for a Valentine's idea. I enjoy making decorative towels throughout the year & giving to friends/family.
This shows the beginning of my Crazy Heart towel. It's a great way to use up scraps and make a new accent piece for your kitchen or bath. The random size strips are sewn to a thin piece of muslim as a base which is then cut into a heart shape. Then I use the decorative stitching on my Bernina to make the crazy quilt style accents. A lightweight two-side fusible is used to attach the heart to the cotten towel. An thick satin stitch is used to outline the border of the heart. That's it! I like to use Dunroven House cotton towels because they wash up great.
This shows the finished towel.
A quick and easy project to use some of your stash and a useful addition to any kitchen/bath.
