I just finished a Valentine's Day mini-tea towel. I had a small amount of this pretty fabric on hand, some pale pink rickrack and some pink color variations floss. I transferred this lazy daisy heart to the fabric and started stitching!
I am really pleased with the result! This little towel is only 7-1/2" wide - I think it will look really nice layered on a pink or white towel.
This turned out to be a really quick and easy project. I love to stitch lazy daisies. Here is a closer view, I also hand stitched the hem and rickrack:
The perle cotton floss I used is DMC #4810. I really love the color variation in this floss.
It is so many beautiful shades of pink and I think it goes well with this powder blue fabric.
Valentine's is still a few days away, which for me always marks the beginning of the end of winter and winter weather - however, we had a little bit of a surprise snowfall over this last weekend
It has been really cold - we didn't get too much, it was so pretty
and Rego really enjoyed it!
So pretty Kim, I love the gingham background.Rego looks a very happy dog enjoying the snow! Hope it's not too cold where you are in the US.

Perfect marriage of fabric, thread, and pattern, very nice indeed. It's good to see that "somebody" is enjoying the snow.
