See, that is why I never throw anything out. You just never know when you'll want to use it! At least that's what I tell my husband.

Embroiderthis.com has some 100% Large cotton teatowels for $3-44 each. They are a decent size as most tea towels you buy these days are getting smaller. Emvroider this has all sorts of linen blanks for embroidery and also a lot of FREE embroidery designs. hugs Joyce

I made a clutch purse for evening use from a piece of black velvet that was left over from an evening dress my mother made for herself before she was married (she was married in Feb 1941). I embroidered roses on it and love the feel of the velvet when I use the purse.

That is a great stash! I inherited a few textiles, and I think they are great! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

Cathy, so happy for you. I have bought large flour sack tea towels at Nancy's Notions, before.

Everything old is new again! Glad you got to do something on this "old" towel. Love Chris
