shower gift

What fun I'm having celebrating my best pal's daughter Megan this weekend, just weeks before her big wedding day! Today I was happy to finally give her the shower gift I made for her earlier this summer.
Four quilted placemats to match her aqua dishes and with a lesson learned from my friend Trae, I backed them all in Christmas fabric...
In fact Trae gave me that cute fabric! and I still have plenty left over for me.

Of course I wove Megan some pretty dish towels to match....
Waffle weave, 100% cotton yarn doubled in a 10 dent heddle.

I hope she enjoys them all for a long time!  What's your go to shower gift?

Very pretty! I kind of like to make either a table runner or a set of cloth napkins...

These are so pretty! I'm sure that she will enjoy them for many years to come. I like to make a fabric basic, crochet a couple potholders, knit a couple dishcloths, embellish a couple tea towels, and then throw in a few small kitchen utensils and a maybe a list notepad.
