I had some antique print blocks that I wanted to try on flour sack towels. I purchased these towels and was thrilled with the results. I used the print blocks, potato prints, and freehand painting. I even used one to make a painting apron for my 11-year-old granddaughter, splattering it ahead of time. I used paint specifically designed for fabric and it enables me to bleach these towels to retain their crisp white appearance - without impacting the paint. My daughter is so happy with these that I'm going to purchase another batch to make for myself!
