Bring a little handmade charm back to the kitchen with Thimbles & Tales: Stitched for the Kitchen.

Inside this cozy collection, you'll discover 12 simple outline embroidery designs created especially for dish towels. With no large areas to fill, the patterns are approachable, relaxing, and perfect for stitchers who enjoy uncomplicated hand embroidery.
