Weekly Wash #19: Sweet Frosting Dishcloth

A few years ago I designed a “Flower Power Cloth” that is a unique hanging towel. I love the texture of it and have wanted to make a matching dishcloth. This texture and wavy edge remind me of frosting. Watch for another hanging towel coming soon to match this with even more sweet frosting.
