Every Fall my daughter and I travel down to Charm Ohio for our Fall getaway. Been doing that for over 25 yrs. Have wonderful Amish friends there. We always go to Lehman's Hardware Store which has changed over those years. But my number one purchase over the years....flour sack towels!!! They are also wonderful for cleaning windows. Once I got my friends those towels as a gift....they were hooked and every trip I would purchase more. Such a small world it is. I have machine embroidered on them for towels. Lovely they are. Great find Jenny!!! And your price you got them for was better than mine. Will have to check website for better pricing. <br /><br />Thanks for your lovely post. They are always sharing ideas and inspiration. The makes you feel good blog!!<br /><br />Peggy (alais mOm) Margaret Ott MorganmOmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-67091422765839346942017-04-29T22:43:15.912+10:002017-04-29T22:43:15.912+10:00So happy to read this and know that you are feelin...So happy to read this and know that you are feeling better, dear Jenny.

The mornings and evenings are cool enough for a cardi and the days are lovely and warm but not hot. I am enjoying this time of year very much. <br />Thank you for talking about the flour sack towels. I had been tossing up whether to buy these or not. I have been on the Lehman's site and have bought some. I was looking for towels for doing some applique on. I am thinking of including some of your stitchery as well.<br />Enjoy the long weekend and getting your Dry Season garden planted.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-1882854841227849882017-04-29T20:57:27.042+10:002017-04-29T20:57:27.042+10:00What a diverse country we live in.

We are starting to plant the hardiest of plants for the winter and move others out of the frost's way. I love the challenge you have given yourself with the kitchen towels. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create. It is good that you are feeling better now.

I need to get back to Bunnings to buy more potted plants for my back decking. It is looking rather sad out there but I haven't been able to leave the house much over the past couple of weeks. Love how you have matched those vintage doilies with the fabrics. Perfect choices. I really should get out my grandmothers' doilies and make them into something I will use instead of just sitting in a box. I have had the heating on here for a few days and have now finished your "welcome" BOM designs twice ready to make into the table runner I had planned. It is the ideal weather for sitting indoors stitching ( when I can focus).

You have reminded me it is time to resurrect the garden. The only things that have handed summer well are the weeds. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy your outside reading spot. It looks lovely.<br /><br />Thank you for telling me about those towels. My mother lovingly embroidered some. My ex was supposed to return them but I seem to have two of the six, His new partner used to paint finger nails over them. Now I can buy some fresh ones and do some for mum.<br /><br />Enjoy the weekend. We re having a quiet one as I am sailing with mum for four days from Monday. This latest jaunt was so cheap and I have never been to Frazer Island. I hope we have a great rest as mum was sick 16 of the 18 days we were at sea in March.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.com
