At long last the dishtowels we got for our wedding, 32 years ago, are being put to use. I put the last stitch in this morning and now we can enjoy them. Thanks to so many of you for giving me the courage to cut into them. I‘m very happy with how it turned out.
And much thanks to my photography assistants ☺ a 3 generation team.
I LOVE it. Beautifully done!
