Kitchen Towels

I started wondering why I have so many kitchen towels until I pulled them all out of the cupboard to get them organized and stacked up better. Well take a look at these stacks....hmmm they look at a lot like a fabric stash!

I tend to buy 100% cotton towels but I also like the 50/50 cotton/linen towels. Here are some of my retro towels.

I really like the calendar fabrics on Spoonflower. If you order a fat quarter it is the perfect size to sew into a kitchen towel. Here is a previous post of the 2015 kitchen towels. Spoonflower is running their 2 for 1 fat quarter special until November 12, 2015 so I just ordered some 2016 calendar towel fabrics. So may great designs and colors.
 
I figure you can never have too many dish towels since they do wear out at some point. They also can be cut up for quilt projects later even if there are stains you can cut around them.

Spoonflower Fabrics

I love Spoonflower which is a site for anyone that wants to design a fabric online and upload it to Spoonflower. Then they will print the fabric on several different fabric options and lengths. 

I recently bought some calendar towel prints from their design challenge. There are so many amazing designs that it was hard to choose. Here are some of them that I ordered in cotton-linen.

They just need to be hemmed with a double fold and then washed to bring out the softness. Make the kitchen cheery!

I may have to give it go one of these days....
