One movie that comes to mind when I think about taking on this 365 Dishcloths project is Field of Dreams.  In it Kevin Costner builds a baseball field and then all the baseball legends come to play.  Many people doubted he could do it. With the help of Wendi our pattern editor, Zac our webmaster, Jen, My husband and all of you we can do it!!

Follow me onto Dishcloth #13 and the rest of the story…
