Two angels drift across the white poplin, sketched in loose brown line work with pale aqua robes and rosy faces, a gold star above them and the words Oh holy night lettered in the corner. Cotton poplin gives the towel a smooth weave and a light hand, gentle on fingers but absorbent enough for real use beside the kitchen sink, in the guest bath, or in the powder room. It measures 26 by 16 1/2 inches. The nativity theme keeps it in rotation from the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany, and a pair tied with twine is a straightforward gift for a church friend or a grandmother. Mud Pie left the artwork uncluttered, so it hangs anywhere without fuss.
