    As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or experiences to share. However, I can provide a translation of the text from Chinese to English:

    “With the hot summer weather, I tend to put away my knitting in exchange for more lightweight and portable crafts. For a quick project, I enjoy having a simple embroidery project – like these simple floral embroidered towels – on hand to keep my hands busy during lazy afternoons or long car rides up to the mountains.

    I love my needle and thread very much. Every year, I seem to forget how soothing hand embroidery can be until I pick it up again. When the theme is a lovely summer floral pattern, I find stitching to be even more relaxing.

    Step 2: Cut the medium weight fusible interfacing to the size of the pattern you want to stitch, adding an extra 1-2 inches. Apply the fusible interfacing to the “wrong” side of the tea towel according to the manufacturers instructions.

    Step 3: First, place the tracing paper (blue side down), layering both it and the printed pattern centered on the tea towel where you want the design. Place the design
