After seeing all the pretty biscornus that have been posted I finally had to try it myself. Here are my projects.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm afraid I'm addicted or at least until another bright idea comes along. Next I'm going to try the scrubby dishcloth that SICK posted last week. Has anyone done that yet?

These are lovely and I love the waffle weave - gives a most interesting texture.

These are just stunning!! What a great idea using the teatowel! It gives them a lovely textured look. Great work and well done .. it is addictive isn't it!

Lovely, excellent recycling! I love the idea of recycling anything that is not totally ruined. Great job!

I had a tea towel that was kind of a waffle weave but it had a stain on it, so I cut it up and made three of these. the fourth (pink one)was made from a recyled napkin. The bottom two are made from a Cuties design, the top two are made from a quilt block that I liked because it had hearts on it.

I learned that the secret to getting well defined corners is to sew only 1/8 of the design at a time, stopping and backstitching after each 1/8. I have only been embroidering for about a year but I have been sewing for more than 50 so I have learned a few tricks of the trade.
