Here’s my submission! Some bright and cheery towels, perfect for spring

Parrot dishtowels - F&T 2020 Q1 Contest Entry

I wove these towels last year and this challenge gave me the kick i needed to finally get them wet finished and hemmed. They’re bright and sunny towels which are perfect for spring! I love how much variation I was able to get with a single warp! [IMG_7043] [IMG_7042] [IMG_7038] [IMG_7039]

Floral Embroidered Napkin Set - F & T 2020 Q1 Contest Entry

I’ve been wanting some nice reusable linen napkins for our home, and knew I wanted to embroider a set. My Mom gifted by a set of napkins, so I finally got the chance to do so.

Voted.

So many good projects to work on this year to reduce waste!

I am still looking for where I packed my big hunk of beeswax, because even though the contest is over, I still want to make things to re-use instead of re-cycle!
