I embroidered these tea towels for a woman at work who is retiring.

I bought the tea towels with the days of week already embroidered on them, then added the animals. Reminds me of tea towels and pillow cases my grandma used to embroider by hand.

These are the best looking tea towel I have seen for awhile, I love them and what a great idea. Can I ask where did you get the designs from?. Thanks for sharing and I love these so much that I think I will give you two flowers. Sandra H from Australia

Hello,
I got the designs from Embroidery Library. Here is their web site. www.emblibrary.com
The disigns are called 'vintage animals' and they stitch out great. Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

You are so right - this is a flash back to home - many years ago. That was a lucky find tohave the days all ready stitched.

Good morning.
I got the towels at K-Mart. They are from the Martha Stewart collection. These really are nice towels, very absorbent, not to mention nice looking.

Thank you for answering me. Darn, we no longer have a K-Mart (loved that store). Closed about 4 years ago when they closed so many of their stores. Still miss it though! Thanks again. Flowers** to all. Sue
