I took out a set of my vintage dish transfers


(I love old transfers like this.........don't you?)

I gathered up some of my prettiest fabric..........

and I used some of my flour sack towels.......combining them with the fabric and then embroidering the vintage transfers to match the fabric/

Much of the time, I usually embroider the dishes in a set the same color

but this time.........I wanted to try something different........

 Letting the fabric make the color choice........
and the set came out with a nostalgic vintage charm to it.........
don't you think so?
I finished the towels with a simple hand crocheted edging

making them look very vintage and sweet.

It seemed to take me forever, but I made 2 sets and placed them in my vintage shop.
 I hope my customers love them!
I am thinking about making myself a set.........or maybe I might take one set from the shop for my kitchen..
How about you?
Do you like dish cloth sets?
