Just some hand embroidered dishtowels
to share today.
These are the transfers
purchased at Walmart.
Busy little birds
I want to thank all of you
that have put us in your prayers.
We really don't want to discuss it
here on my blog,
The Lord knows what's going on . . .
and that's good enough.
You have touched our lives with your
love and friendship.
God bless you all.
Connie :)
Steve remains in my prayers Connie. Those tea towels are beautiful, such fun.
ReplyDeleteI love those little birds, they are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. They take me back to when I was little. My mom used to embroider things like these.
ReplyDeleteContinueing to keep you and Steve in my thoughts and prayers.
Hi Connie and Steve- keeping you in my best wishes for good health and happiness to you both. Best Wishes. KEV. (Sydney-AUS).
ReplyDeleteSuper cute dish towels.. so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteLove the blanket stitch along the bottom too.
Hang in there.
You guys are in lots of folks prayers.

These are all so cute, Connie. I do love the fresh designs on your dish-towels. So prettily embroidered by your gifted hands!
ReplyDeleteAny kind of handiwork is very therapeutic. I remembering being helped by baking my own bread in times of deep stress. It seemed to re-centre me. Anything that is manual and requires concentration does wonders.
Always thinking of you and your family.
Love the tea towels. I haven't embroidered in years, this might just inspire me to do so. Prayers being said for you, your husband and family. XXXXX
ReplyDeleteThe dish towels are so cute - might have to make some.
ReplyDeleteI cheat when I do embroidery. I print out what I like, place the print out beneath the fabric and trace it with a pencil.
I'm praying for Steve. Like you, our anniversary is in April, but it will be 48.
Cute little busy birds! You are both in my prayers, Connie.
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, I missed you. I was worried and thought something was happening, many days without a blog post. I placed you in my prayers and asked the Lord God to take care of you, your family and your home. I hope you are better.
ReplyDeleteI have been praying and will continue to pray for you and Steve, Connie. God knows what your needs are, I don’t need to know in order to pray. Your dish towels are so cute. It’s funny that you put them on your post today. I was just looking at transfers at hobby lobby yesterday because I’ve been thinking of embroidering some new dishtowels. These are really cute.
ReplyDeleteMany blessings, Betsy
So pretty Connie. We call dish towels "tea towels" here, they are the same thing of course. I don't have any as pretty as your embroidered ones. Thinking of you both.
ReplyDeleteI pray every day for you and Steve now. I was happy to see you post pictures of your beautiful towels! I like the edging you put on towards the bottom but I have forgotten what it is called. Keep your chins up and God bless you and Steve. Nancy
ReplyDeleteI pray for you and Steve during my morning walk.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty dish towels, they must make drying the dishes a pleasure.
I remember my great aunt had some dish towels like those... they are so cute! I haven't done transfer embroidery in years. Keeping you and your hubby in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteYour dish towels are gorgeous. You do nice work. You and Steve are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. I hope you'll continue to be creative while you're going through all of this. I know it will help. I'm keeping you both in my prayers sweet friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteYour tea towels are so pretty. My Mom embroidered tea towels and pillow cases in her spare time. Not that she had much of it.
ReplyDeleteWalmart used to have those adorable transfers but not any more. I guess there is just no demand for them.
Those towels are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThe prayers of blog friends is one of the big blessings of blogging!
You are so right . . . the prayers that are going out from my blogging friends are a blessing and warms our hearts. What a better way to make use of the internet than to use it to connect prayer warriors.
DeleteWe thank you all and are enormously grateful for every single prayer. There is amazing power in prayer.
So adorable! I did a stamped cross-stitch sampler years ago, but don't really know any embroidery stitches. I would like to find something similar in cross-stitch and maybe give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration. Blessings to both you and Steve.
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely! Totally agree, needlework is very therapeutic.
ReplyDeleteSweet little birdies to embroider. Your dish towels are so pretty. Sending you many hugs, lovely Connie♥
ReplyDeleteI love the towels.. prayers for you and Steve.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet, sweet designs! Your work is great! I have used towels like these to embroider on, and then used them as gifts.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the dishtowels. I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and prayers.

These are just darling. Our local Bi Mart still has these sorts of cute iron on transfers. I used to do them years ago when I was in my 20's. I loved to embroider then. Then I started doing the iron on cross stitch which I loved.. and made a few designs to hang up. Never did like counted cross stitch and my embroidery was never quite good enough for my liking! Yours is so pretty and perfect. I'm sure it's a nice way to get lost in the moment of creating. I received some embroidered 12 inch quilt blocks from my neighbor's mom.... and they are just begging me to make a quilt from them! Take care.. hugs and prayers..... Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHi connie, hope and pray things are ok, love the dishtowels
ReplyDeleteOh Connie, these are too cute and your stitching is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes God knows all and hears our prayers, HUGS!
Those dishcloths seriously are THE cutest ones I've ever seen! You should open an etsy shop and sell your handiwork!! I know you have too much on your plate right now though. You and Steve have been in my prayers. {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteThe towels are so cute. Sure been thinking about you both.
ReplyDeleteThese embroidered dish towels are sweet, Connie. I love the "bake day" one, as I'm always baking goodies. I like all the RED that you used. You have such a talent. I've been saying prayers for your husband, Connie.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day.

ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you- big hugs!

Connie, Praying for you and your husband....we all need prayers to help us thru tough times or bad health...and sometimes just to help. I loved your pretty towels. So cute and old fashioned looking. I love that. Blessings dear friend, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI keep checking back for an update...prayers for both you and your hubby. I don't comment much but I do check in.
ReplyDeleteAw, cute dishtowels; remind me of my childhood and learning to embroider with Mom.
ReplyDeleteMissing you and praying for you and hubby.
HI Connie, We are sending many, many prayers to both your and your husband. We pray that the Lord will bestow his healing presence on both Steve and you. And, we love the embroidered towels ! Those little birds especially are just the cutest ever ! Love, hugs, and many blessings, from Marina and Daryl Lynn
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to share what it is...God knows and He is the only one who needs to know. I believe! Hugs to you both!
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know, you and Steve are still in my prayers.
