I have completed a few more dish towels. These are used to cover a large batch of rising bread. 🙂 This first one is for Autumn. This pattern is traced from Ladies in Red website. I used varigated and non-varigated threads to get the colors I wanted. 🙂
This next one is for a friend for Christmas. She loves tea and it is done in her favorite colors. She also makes bread. 🙂 This pattern is an iron-0n transfer from Aunt Martha’s Floral Teapots. Got it from Wal-Mart for 99 cents.
Below is another pattern from the Floral Teapots. It is for me and I did it in #816, turkey red, my favorite. Since this is done in stem work and in solid red, it is called Red Work. Imagine that! I haven’t decided if I want to stitch a trim around it yet. As you can see I wasn’t finished with it in this photo. It is now done, ironed, and ready for use. 🙂
This next one is for my P31 friend’s birthday. She got a Bosch mixer in red. I’ll be posting about that later. 🙂 This photo was taken before I put the red trim around the edge. I like them better with a trim. The bowl is done in the turkey red and the trim is also. My friend likes red as much as I do. This pattern came from Kitchen Friends at PatternBee. I really like her stuff. 🙂
APPLIE'S PLACE 
You do such lovely handwork, Applie. The redwork is really striking!
Very nice, Applie!
Your friends are very blessed to have you making them such nice towels.
I think that you should show us how your towel works. I mean how in the world can a towel help bread to rise? 🙄
😆 guess you’ll have to make some bread now won’t you!! Otherwise we’ll begin to think that this is all for show and that you’re not really “June”.
Elaine, the towels are used to cover the bread dough while it is rising. These towels are large enough to cover five loaves or two cookie sheets or a large ring loaf. 🙂 It also looks very stylish, sort of like June. LOL

Your towels are very nice. I like them all, but I like most the towel with leaves. I am very partial to leaves. There are two leaves laying on my kitchen counter right now.. I really need to throw them back outside where they came from.
They are all just beautiful, Miss Applie!
You did such a lovely job! The autumny one is my favorite because my whole house is being slowly decorated in lovely autumny shades of harvest gold, pumpkin orange, brown and red. 😀
I have thought that becasue I do enjoy cross-stitching that I probably would enjoy embroidery. Maybe I should get an autumny project and give it a whirl. Do you use the same DMC floss as with cross-stitching?
Hugs!
For Elaine: the towel also keeps moisture from departing the outside of the bread dough. When this happens, you have to cut away and pitch a very hard,nasty crust (unbaked) that otherwise would have added another slice of nice, hot, covered-with-melting-butter wheat bread.
Do you make these to sell? Can’t find. Secret pal wants a set of the old flour sack-type material. By August.
Hi Sherry, I am sorry, but I don’t sell these. You can find just the fabric at http://www.americanchairstore.com/floursacktowels.html. I bought my set there and they are great. If you ened embroidered ones, then you could try ebay. 🙂
