morning ladies We have sunshine! or now, anyway lol. Happy Matariki
I remember Canon towels Mum had some along with Dramorn (spelling, sorry) linen. They both lasted forever, unlike the linen and towels you buy now. I also soak my towels or anything that has dye that could run in salt. Always iodised though for some reason. I can't recommend any particular brand of towels as I buy whatever is on special at Briscoes.
Housework for me today and then I'll keep pottering on with the hand quilting. Waxed thread is a PITA to use as it slips out of the needle so easily. But in saying that, it glides through the quilting layers beautifully with no knotting or tangles.
I have a small pile of things to donate to the op shop when it reopens next week. There will probably be a few more things in the pile by the time I take them.
Happy crafting
