\"Inspdishtowels\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When a friend is hurting or going through a difficult time,\u00c2\u00a0most women send a card or take that friend to lunch. But women who sew stitch something.<\/p>\n

And as you know, I sew. Thus, when a dear friend was slammed hard and fast with a truckload of woes, I went to my beloved Brother Duetta (4500D) to offer some small measure of comfort and support.My stash is well stocked with a variety of blank items for embroidery. I selected three plain white microfiber dishtowels and sought the floral designs and encouraging words in the Amazing Designs<\/a> collection Inspirational Concepts<\/em> collection.<\/p>\n

But wanting a little more pizzazz than just the lovely embroidery designs could generate, I added rick rack and a bright gingham hem. I used the tube turn pillowcase hem technique, also known as the enchilada contrasting hem.<\/p>\n

Some time ago, I\u00c2\u00a0wrote an\u00c2\u00a0article\u00c2\u00a0for Creative Needle<\/em> magazine showing the technique on two pillowcases. But it is applicable to almost any contrasting hem situation.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0A\u00c2\u00a0subsequent issue featured\u00c2\u00a0 a charming guest towel made\u00c2\u00a0 by Dianne Boney.\u00c2\u00a0 That got me thinking.<\/p>\n

I’m still thinking, but so far, I’ve just copied Dianne’s idea and whipped up three dishtowels.\u00c2\u00a0 For more details, see the post<\/a> entitled “turn tube\u00c2\u00a0pillowcase hem.”<\/p>\n

These towels fixed none of my friend’s problems, but it showed that I cared.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometimes, that is all we can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
