I was pleased to receive the Winter Issue of Stitch in the mail today. This remains one of my most favourite sewing magazines with its fresh modern patterns that always inspire.
I was thrilled to have my Winter Forest Tea Towel pattern included in this issue. When I purchased the waffle cotton from Spotlight, the sales assistant was most surprised that I would make my own tea towels. I find the waffle cotton to be very absorbent, and it is a good base for a bit of appliqué.
I appliquéd a row of winter trees in various shades of green and finished it off with some lime gingham.
I think I might whip up a few more for Christmas gifts. Have you made a start on your Christmas gift making yet?
really great towels, perfect gifts.

The waffle is great for tea towels, and I love those tress…so fresh and pretty! Congrats on another publication too 🙂
How beautiful!! Just a lovely design — and congratulations on its being published.
I have started on some of my Christmas gifts, but need to really get going on them. I try to make most of my gifts.
This towel is so cute! I’m definitely adding this to my holiday to-do list. I might even whip up a couple with pumpkins for Halloween! Congrats on being published!
Congratulations Lisa — ADORABLE, as always! I LOVE making my own towels out of waffle cloth — the store-bought ones always shrink up to be too small.
That’s gorgeous. I’m stealing your idea, I hope you don’t mind (I’ll credit you of course). Cause I have to make a mug rug with a fall theme. I’ll use orange and red shades for the trees. Thanks for the inspiration!

I wish you, Lisa and family, a wonderful weekend!!!
Love, Bela
I love the sweet simplicity of this towel; it would look equally at home in a cozy farm kitchen or a trendy loft apartment. You always choose the nicest fabrics!
I am just getting started on some countdown calendars for gifting, we shall see how it goes!
It couldn´t be different!! You are talented, dear Lisa, so talented!!!
Much love to you!!
Bela
Looks beautiful! What a great gift idea.
