Handmade Muslin Towels

These Sunbonnet Sue towels are new at 

Cherry Prairie 

They are 100% cotton muslin.

I applied the design and then hand tinted each one.

This one is my own design and perfect for Fall!

 I'll be making more designs soon!

Decorating with vintage stamped linens.

Vintage linens with lovely stamped designs are often found at rummage sales and thrift stores.

The designs were meant to be hand embroidered by an industrious house wife.

I know I'll never embroider them but that didn't stop me from buying them and stashing them away!

So rather than keep them in a drawer I decided to use them just the way they are.

These linens go particularly well with farmhouse and prairie decor adding a rustic charm to your table. Remember that the designs were meant to be removed once the embroidery was complete

so I don't recommend washing them.

 Use them alone . . .

 Or layer them with other linens.

I especially the rich color of this golden brown one.
