I saw this project idea somewhere and wanted to create a version for my family. My great grandmother was an incredible cook, and she was known for many of her delicious recipes. Her lemon bar recipe is one of our favorites. I borrowed the well-worn card she had written the recipe on (dated 1976) from my mother and scanned it in. I layered the recipe card front and back pictures on top of a picture of some blue gingham fabric I created by scanning the fabric. Spoonflower prints its fabric at 150 ppi, so you adjust the size of your image by adjusting your ppi. I had to play with the size and placement of the images to allow four towels to print on one yard of fabric.

When the fabric came in the mail, I washed and dried it, then cut the 4 towels apart and finished them.

The final towels are charming, and a big hit as gifts with relatives.
