A Christmas Dishcloth Story....

I've been making dishcloths for certain family members this holiday season, they were a huge hit last year. This year, my mom wanted something cute and special. She's been having alot of work done on the outside of her house and it's been taking forever. Because of the work we haven't put up any decorations so she asked for a dishcloth with a Christmas scene of her home. I pulled up a graph on the computer and went to work. She has a Tudor style house with a huge evergreen in the back. I'll scan a picture when I find one. I finished this a few weeks ago but decided last night to write up the pattern for everyone to make. Enjoy!







Finished Measurements : 9"x10"
