March 11th – We are finally caught up with the posting of the dishcloths!!!  Yahh!!!  Now we will post one a day from this point going forward.

Today’s dishcloth was designed by Lori Zeller.  In addition to the dishcloths Lori had shared with us for the challenge she had done a few designs that are available at MaggiesCrochet.com.  Here is a link to her Holiday Bookmark designs: http://www.maggiescrochet.com/holiday-bookmarks-p-1037.html
