Do you remember the dish towels from our book, Applique With Attitude? I've been using mine in the new kitchen!
These dishtowels are appliqued with big stitches in perle cotton – fast and cute. I've been meaning to share with you what I learned from the Prescenia folks about their threads at quilt market.
Prescencia perle cotton is colorfast and bleach-fast. It doesn't shrink. These are things I knew but it's nice to see that it's really true when I wash and dry projects made with it in my very own washer and dryer :-). You can read more on this page.
I pre-washed the towels and the fabric before I appliqued the shapes. Gotta say – I love using them!

I had to order them from Moda. I had them for a while on the site, but they didnt really sell. I suppose if enough people want some, I can order them again. Let me know…

The towels are a great addition to that wonderful kitchen. Have enjoyed seeing the makeover. I love the fact that the thread is colorfast. I have made three quilts in the last year and a half for toddler great nieces and nephews. Used that thread for big stitch quilting on them knowing they could safely be washed time and again!
