    They are SO cute!
    One of my favorite towels is one similar to these that I found in a 'junk' store years ago. It's so cute hanging on my cabinet doors.

    Great looking towels, the problem I have is I never want to use them.

    I remember making tea towels like this when I was just a little girl and that was lots of years ago. Yours are so delightful and will bring smiles to the one who receives them. Adds just a bit of a smile in the kitchen.

    Those are adorable! My former MIL made some very similar ones for me 40+ years ago and I still have them.

    Where do we get the pattern? Might make some for our Botique at the quilt Show. Mariah

    Oh my gosh, they are sooo cute! Love the "old-timey" look. Nice work.
