More of Mom's birthday presents

Here you see some more craft projects that were generated for my Mom's birthday. I went to K-mart and bought two blank bathroom hand towels and one blank kitchen hand towel. For the bathroom towels I used a cotton blue print fabric with small cherries to make the big butterflies. I attached them to the center of the towels using a tight zig zag stitch. I folded over the sides of some light blue oversized ric rac and used two straight stitches to attach them. I then stitched on light blue butterflies that I made out of felt using a smaller zig zag stitch. They seemed to match the ric rac pretty well.
For the kitchen towel I had some fabric that had these large square recipes scattered all over it as part of the print. They are real recipes too! I cut three of the squares out and laid them out at an angle. I fused them first and then straight stitched them on to the towel.
I found a darker blue felt to make the smaller butterflies for this towel.
As a gift wrap I made a draw string bag (like I did for Aunt Roxie) out of the same fabric as the big butterflies and used red felt this time for the little butterflies to make it pop. I think we just have one more of Mom's presents after this one!
