They are beautiful! Thank you for sharing

[simplyme5252]

That is such a cute and creative set. I think that would be a perfect little side project to work on during long blankets. Then I would always have a go to gift for those sneaky little gift giving ocassions that pop up when most unexpected.

OMG My mother is nuts for butterflies! I am so making a set for her! Thank you for so generously sharing the pattern!

[Roli]

Oh my goodness! This is just perfect! I sometimes make washcloths and give them as gifts with a bar of facial soap but your idea is much cuter. Now I know what I will be doing between projects so that I can have that little hostess gift ready anytime. Thanks!

These are used for face washing? They are so pretty, I'd never want to get them dirty! If I made them double thick, would they work as coasters for my sun porch?

[TurtleLvr]

Very nice!
