Fall Folk Towel

More fun fall stitching!  This pattern is new to the website this month:  Finnish Folk #8012 

This old Finnish embroidery pattern was gleaned from a 1960's Woman's Day magazine.  There are six motifs in all, featuring country folk sharing chores on the farm.  I found this motif especially charming. 

 I think it was probably intended to represent spring, but with bright autumn colors it works well for fall too. 

This plain olive-green dish towel made a lovely background!  I wish I could find more soft cotton dish towels like this.  They came in a set of different colors. 

The border is optional.  I like it!
