While deciding which way to run with this project, I came up with numerous really fun ideas... but, when it came to actually making them, I knew I wouldn't use any of them. I like my dish cloths simple. Simple is practical! Practical is useable!! The Red Heart Scrubby Cotton works WONDERFUL for this project. The yarn is really easy to work with. I love how well the cotton washes up and I love the vibrant colors available.

Quilter's Dish Scrubby
Based on a quilter’s block pattern, create a colorful dish scrubby that combines cotton and textured yarn for a multi purpose cleaning. Each dish scrubby consists of 4 motifs that are joined together to create a quilt-like block pattern. The four motifs are fun to rearrange to create a multiple of block patterns. Step by step YouTube video available. Dish cloth is 5 3/4” x 5 3/4” and calls for one skein of Red Heart Scrubby and Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie yarn.

Smoothie Cloth Set
I love being able to make things for specific needs. Recently I decided a hanging towel would work perfectly in our trailer bathroom. The only problem is there is a hook and not a bar to wrap a tabbed cloth around. I finished the top off with a D ring instead and it is just right. Of course I needed some cloths to match.
