I kept thinking about how to display 365 dishcloths.  I kept wishing for a large white wall.  Then it hit me – our breezeway here at the shop is painted white brick and one whole side wall is totally free open space!  I started a clothesline at the upper left corner and strung it across the top edge of the 20 ft long wall.

Follow me onto Dishcloth #11 and the rest of the story…
