A short post today just to mark the beginning of a new embroidery project I expect to be working on for much of the year - a tea towel calendar from Gingiber @gingiber. I didn't even know tea towel calendars were a thing until I saw Jen @stitchalongwithjen post about her new sew along.
I'm not joining the monthly subscription being offered, but my friend Sharon @redapplestitches will be working on her own tea towel project, so I expect we'll compare notes; and I'll be following along with Jen and other stitchers on Instagram.
Though I haven't begun stitching quite yet, I've backed the towel with a lightweight cotton fabric, and chosen a handful of perle cotton threads to get me started. I have a handwork project or two to finish first, and then I'll be starting in. I'm looking forward to this unique kind of sampler!
