I got some cotton table napkins (or something) on sale from a local store - does
seem like a good idea. I'll try on eBay later.

What's a tea towel, anyway? <g>

By "shirt", I assume you mean something that isn't a T-shirt? My "DH" (since a
few weeks ago - calling him that seems so strange...) has a total of I think 3
of those, and I don't think he'd be willing to donate any... <g>

Sounds like fun! I do think I'd like making a colored piece of lace and going
through all the cool fabrics in a store to match it too...
