Handmade Hostess Gifts

As the holidays approach, I love to make a few items to have on hand for hostess or thank you gifts.  One of the things I made this year are these linen kitchen towels. A quick hem on each side, and the addition of a small tab at the top for hanging, make these a quick and easy project.  For presentation, tie them with a bit of jute twine and add a small embellishment.  I discovered these little mother-of-pearl heart charms tucked away just waiting to be added to my new collection of striped linen towels.
