This towel was beautiful before I embroidered the roosters on it. It is all hand embroidered including the little birds or chicks on it. Very impressive work. I did not do the hand embroidering. A friend received this towel I think as a gift about 20 years ago. Put it away -- too nice to use. She decided that I should embroider something on it and she would give it as one of her gifts at a bridal shower. Again she left it up to me to decide what to embroider on it. I thought it needed a design that wasn't too overpowering, but went with the birds or chicks on the trim. I got this design free from the designs by sick embroidery site. What do you think of this towel?
