Pinterest Challenge ~ "Love" tea towel

I always seem to need new kitchen towels!  And I love the colorful styles that are available, but they can be expensive especially when they need to be washed so frequently.

When I happened across Somewhat Simple's tutorial, I couldn't resist! 

 

The directions were clearly written and easy to follow...

...and the tea towel came together quickly!

Besides the fabric, the only thing I changed was the stitching around the appliques.  Rather than straight stitches, I used small zig zag.   I thought that it might help reduce fraying since mine get washed so often.

I love the way the finished towel looks in my kitchen!

Enjoy!  ♥
