A little hand stitching

When Adelaide was born, one of my favourite gifts for her was a pretty little square towel with a corner section on it that you could use as a hood.

I happened across the same type of towel at Marche St Pierre in Paris.  They had the little band of cross stitch braid across the hood or corner.  I bought a couple as future baby gifts.

A friend of mine has had her fourth child, so I am cross stitching the baby's name across the corner.  It will go in a parcel with a few Townmouse bodysuits.

More creative endeavours at Kootoyou.

Your friend is fortunate to receive such a gorgeous gift. I don't suppose that these types of towels are available in Australia?
