My favourite at the moment is from the Lost Gardens of Heligan where they have an artist in residence who designed the tea towel. It's beautiful, as are the Gardens!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-76402758658364316382015-03-13T10:45:38.076+00:002015-03-13T10:45:38.076+00:00I also love tea towels.

Never used it yet as just like to look at it! We also have some from the children's infant school as like your boys they also did hand print/self portrait ones too. Never used these either as they're with some keepsakes in a box. To be honest I have some pretty tea towels which stay at the bottom of the pile and the ones I always use from the tope of the pile are very scruffy and tattered and really ought to be chucked as I hide them on the washing line when hanging out as they are sooo bad!!!

Another was woven by my daughter when she was 12 and is good solid fabric (she's 31 now and a mum of 3!), that was a school project in our old village. Then there's Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy - a free gift in a magazine but going strong! An old cartoon teatowel was my mum's and still makes me smile, and a very ragged 60s bulldog/ union flag one had us in stitches when our youngest daughter played peekaboo with it when she was a toddler and gave herself a bulldog face...(she's 19 now!).<br /> As a young child we had a teatowel fixed to the back of the loo door which featured a record stunt from the 19th century of sheep-to-coat with all the processes done in so many hours (shearing, spinning, weaving, cutting sewing etc.) which I think was from Warwickshire somewhere and I can still picture it even though I've forgotten the details!Swissrosehttp://www.thelittlewashhouse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-68417238409938732882015-03-13T01:52:58.895+00:002015-03-13T01:52:58.895+00:00I have some that my Grandma stitched for me and I ...I have some that my Grandma stitched for me and I love them. Some are torn and quite ratty, but I still use them. And when I do I'm reminded of my Grandma (who is 99 years old and lives thousands of miles away).
