Having only recently returned to quilting with some semi-regularity, and with plenty of UFOs awaiting my attention, needless to say, I had nothing quilty prepared for Christmas. A Jeep repair took me to the other side of town a couple of weeks back, and with a quilter on my shopping list, I took the opportunity to check out a quilt store that was new to me, Hen Feathers. (Cute name!) I was prepared to use my fall back plan - fat quarters. I mean what quilter doesn't like squishies in the mail? But instead, I was presented with an idea. Not particularly quilty, but at least something that allowed me to feel I'd put a little extra effort into the gift:
I ended up making two more:
The towels are quick and fun to make up. The all sport a little quilting, but I didn't do anything overly fancy. I think next time instead of using the pre-cut borders, I'll just pick through my stash. :) I may make up a few to just have on hand.
The shop had a nice selection of tea towels and pre-cut border fabric for easy mixing and matching.
