I have to make 3 fishing towels anyone got ideas please

you could get those litle packs of 3 to 5 hand towels and get a pic of a fish and enlarge it and trace it out of fabric that looks fishy then sew it on for the "biggest catch OR" ,,,, I made a quilt that way and it turned out real pretty

I bought a design from emblibrary that said "Fish Cleaning Station" and then below a stringer of fish and then below that it says "No guts, no glory"

Julia's needle designs had a blackwork fisherman that was free. I think it may have come through the Design Magazine. Just click on the bees inside for the free designs.;)

You may have to hunt through for the fisherman, but it looks really cute.

thanks meganne

Hello Minnieb, I have made fishing towels and I got the best designs from embroidery libary they are not free but there are a lot of good ones. Plus if you only have the fish you can always add words to it to make it more personal.

how will these do............
What is the richest fish in the world?
A goldfish

No fishing like fishing in the sea.


A stick and a string with a fly at one end and a fool at the other.

The biggest fish he ever caught were those that got away.

don't know if they will but hope they help.

thanks ricky

Are they towels to take fishing and use for the body or for cleaning up? I guess a fishing theme, or fish or boats?
