Pat,
Between the gas and the upcoming heat, I have dragged out my huge sewing projects for this weekend and pulled out my embroidery projects as well. Will be staying put this weekend!
Pat, I have purchased Aunt Martha floursack towels on HSN.com - surprisingly enough Home Shopping Network has a very large selection of sewing supplies along with sewing machines (Brother and Singer). I check their website at least once a month for new ideas. Never watch the show, but I love their website for crafts.
I also love Martha Stewart floursack towels which I purchased in K-Mart. Was walking past an end cap and saw them - blew my mind.
I also have picked them up in Marshall's, T. J. Maxx, Ross and Home Goods stores. These are hit and miss. Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh and once, to my surprise, I found a large pack in a Rite-Aid Drug Store!! Stood there shocked. Like I was proud of my find.
Amazon.com and Vermont Country Store.com as well.
If I match these floursack towels with a towel topper (depending on who I am giving and if more for deco....), I cut the towel in half width-wise and the cut end (I usually zig-zag stitch this end just 'cause) goes into the towel topper part and never shows. For myself, I leave whole because I utilize these towels.
Like Judy, I love these towels for redwork.
