Designer Carol Showers wrote: “This pattern I made up 35 years ago and started by making afghans, then small curtain valances for bath and kitchen. Also doily scarves for small shelves on a hutch. I was dusting and moving the doilies and decided I could make a dishcloth with the pattern – anything to quit dusting!” Thank you Carol for joining the Dishcloth-A-Day Challenge!
