This is really a stunning towel. How do you think that edging was done? Is it applique or stitching only?
132773I am so pleased to post that I received my towels today. They are stunning. Will post a picture tomorrow.
As I have to get ready for my Daughters Dinner Party. She is 32 today.
IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT.

I'm still picturing the ones I did hanging around a deserted island with Tom Hanks and a volleyball named Wilson :(
by greysewist
15 Jun 2012
Thank goodness the ones I did got off the deserted island eventually and found their way to their recipient. Huge relief!
211078I hope this helps others to see all these lovely towels. Was there a Postal Strike somewhere or something?

231634766Sad very sad, still no sign of my towels at the Post Office!!! It's now two weeks after the date it was suppose to be here. I don't know what happened or have my SS forgot. Hugs Louise

Talk to the postmaster at your local post office! We had an express package that was misrouted, and then refused at the post office because it was 1 cent short on postage. It is back to the sender now. How frustrating!! Not the first time either.
2281New reply in Sue's update post with Cindy's towels.
23163Sending it back to the top. Hopefully there are still some more to arrive yet.
231631327732945211078I sent mine weeks ago and have not seen a response. Love Chris
by greysewist
06 Jun 2012
Me as well, Chris. I'm thinking the mail took a whole lot longer than we were told it might!
234253THANK YOU to my Secret Sister - I received my towels in the mail and I am so thrilled with them - they will make my kitchen LQQK so special - I appreciate the time and effort that it took for these to come to me - as well - I love the sweet home made friendship card with the handmade yellow rose and for letting me know your were OUT STATIONED and that was the reason for delay. WAY to go Secret Sister - you are the best because you are mine.
The sayingon the towels:
Love is a fruit in season at all time and within the reach of every hand. Sister Theresa

Thanks for that, and not sure if others have the same results, but none of your links are taking me directly to the post, just to a general page full of posts :)
3562here's the post with pics that I did some time back.
http://answers.cuteembroidery.com...
3562Is there any way to merge the 2 threads of this tea towel swap info? It's hard to keep track with 2 places going. Still waiting to hear that the package I sent has arrived. I certainly thought that 3 weeks was plenty of time to get to Europe from US. By now we are talking almost 5 weeks! Oh well. Hugs. Nan W

If you look further down this page, Shirlene has put a link to the other thread where Sue asked for people to check in whether they've received & sent.

231632316317716The lovely Tea Towels I recieved before the 25th. I had to look for them as I set it aside to open after the 25th and got very busy and forgot about them, lol! Thank you to my secret sister!!

I think the mail has taken longer this round than many of us anticipated. Good for you, being so patient. Yours may also have been one of the re-sends. Good things come to those who wait, or so they say :)

4006This swap has been such fun. I just can't believe that my package is taking more than a month to arrive in Europe from Texas! I really thought I mailed it early enough to arrive on time. All the towels are lovely and I would be proud to get any of them. Way to go sisters! Hugs. Nan W
11737I've just been admiring all the tea towels. Great job ladies.
All very lovely.

211078Well, see what the postie brought me today, all the way from Beaufort in SC. They are terrific and their sender is quite a poet too! Well done Secret Sister. I love them. Lovely colourful writing! They were also wrapped in a nice pink printed fabric and a lovely white ribbon. Those will find a use here too. Thanks so much!

20661Sorry don't know what I did wrong as My picture didn't show up. Am going to try again. Thanks again to my SS the towel and matching cloth are very nice and I like them a lot. DH took the pics as I was head over heels with a project and pics don't do them justice. Thanks again and sorry about mixup.
2066123163I received the lovely towels from Australia yesterday evening. I do have to say that my SS has done well, since she had a challenge, for my kitchen is brink, and the only trim I have is Ivy, but I love the Australian prints she used.
by dlonnahawkins
27 May 2012
Oh - and I forgot to add that she sent 2 nice swatches of some Aussie prints - thank you....hmmm - got me to thinking - maybe we need to do a fat quarter swap - it would be neat getting fabrics that we normally do not get to see in our areas.
by shirlener88
28 May 2012
Beth, these look nice on your brick wall - I too like the Aussie prints - I like your idea of a fat quarter swap, too. Way to go Secret Sister.
44808I sent mine a while ago and haven't seen it posted on here, I hope the person who gets them does put them up to showcase. Love Chris

114280Apologies for the delay in sharing the pictures of my tea towels. They are beautifull and as well as embroidering the designs and decorating them with the gingham ribbon I am pretty sure they made the towels themselves. My grandson opened the parcel from South Africa with me and wants to keep them. Thanks again for my beautiful gift and I hope you have as much joy from the towels you receive
