 <\/p>\n

\"\"At Thanksgiving, with so many blessings,\u00a0 I think it is especially meaningful and important to express your appreciation and love to the important people in your life.\u00a0 Make a phone call, send a card or make a dishtowel for Turkey Day.<\/p>\n

For those who are far away, a towel or a pair of towels can be mailed easily.\u00a0 Those in town will be delighted to receive this token of gratitude.<\/p>\n

For family<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

for friends<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

for neighbors<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and for any others for whom you are thankful–your pastor, mailman, teachers, school bus drivers.\u00a0 The list goes on.\u00a0 You can be sure it will mean a great deal to them.<\/p>\n

Simply prewash a cotton dishtowel then starch and press it.\u00a0 Arrange the text over a design, confining it all to a 5×7 frame.\u00a0 Using water soluble stabilizer saves time that would be spent picking out tearaway behind the text. \u00a0 Then stitch away and express your thankfulness to the people you appreciate.<\/p>\n

There are so many gorgeous designs from which to choose.\u00a0 The one I’ve used on the towels shown is from Autumn Wreaths Collection by Kreations by Kari.<\/p>\n

For more whimsical text designs, the very popular “subway art” is available on several sites. These were made so many years ago that I cannot recall where I got them.\u00a0 But they were very well received, along with the more traditional design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even in this last minute rush before the cooking begins, I encourage you to stitch up a few of these expressions of love and appreciation.\u00a0 It’s fun and you deserve a little relaxation before the kitchen marathon begins.<\/p>\n

I appreciate you, Dear Readers.\u00a0 I wish I could make each of you a dishtowel that says “Thankful for Blog Readers.”\u00a0 Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n

Required disclosure:\u00a0 I am a paid Brother Ambassador.\u00a0 Not required: I LOVE my Brother sewing machines!<\/p>\n
