I have a couple of birthdays next week, and I am looking for some kitchen type designs to make a couple sets of dish towels... something like applique or something really unique instead of flowers... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you look here at Cute? There is a set of teapots around page 24, I've included a picture, and a set of applique fruits around page 18, lots more further back, just do a search here. Veronika's designs always sew out beautifully, and there's lots of applique. Hugs, Marji

Basketkase did several teapots and teacups. I used some of these on dish towels for a wedding shower gift. Home page has some posted today. Goodluck

There are some on "designs by Cuties"

Fancy a cuppa. Free this week. It's tea set.

I did some of these at Christmas and I used cupcake designs and personalised them. They were very popular. If you google cupcakes designs you will find loads, or maybe one of the cuties will be able to send you a link for some. Good luck
