Last time I visited my parents, my dad shared a bedspread in a roughly similar style to this that my grandmother had worked on for years on and off.
I don't know if I'll ever get around to working with thread rather than yarn, but I can certainly stand in awe of the people who do.

The finished printed towels

I posted a few days ago about my very first print blocks.  I managed to get some pretty nice photos of the finished printed towels as well.  I think they turned out really well.  I'm going to spend the next week or so working on some more designs for kitchen and table linens (napkins, place mats, dish towels, table runners, etc.).  I'm still undecided about whether it would be better and/or more economical to make objects from scratch using cotton, linen, or cotton-linen blends or if using ready-made things is a better idea.  Anyone with info on where to find ready-made items for reasonable (cheap) prices, do let me know.
