One more embroidered flour sack dish towel is done.
This one is for the friend of a Mastodon friend.
@NorcalGma2 I have stacks of my mom's stitchery and needle work; dresser scarves, hankies and pillowcases, antimacassars, doilies, and dish towels, back to her childhood, forward to my teenage years. A Pennsylvania Dutch woman's hands are never idle, she said. This takes me back.

Embroidery is perfect for keeping hands and minds busy in a productive way.
@NorcalGma2 @knownasrose you are endlessly creative! 🩷
@NorcalGma2 this is beautiful. I’m a newbie: what’s the name of the type of stitch used? I’d like to look it up and learn it. Thanks!
@anarodrigues
Thank you! This is just a basic running or stem stitch.
@NorcalGma2 at the same time I scrolled to this pretty post Morning Morgantown by Joni Mitchell started on the player. Two lovely things at the same time. Today has got to be a good day.
