And since 19th century tea towels are very famous.. I also like different types of tea towels like Plain Dyed Towels, <a href="http://www.jpgart.com/free-machine-embroidery-designs-to-download/" rel="nofollow">Embroidered Towels</a>, Jacquard Towels Design, Embroidered Towels for Kitchen.

Though I've had many entrepreneurial ideas for her over the years I don't think she'd do it :) She was a professional embroiderer for 30 years and is retired so I think she just does it for family. Have you ever checked out House 8810? They have a lot of vintage inspired products and have a bunch of really cute tea towels. I just looked this morning and they even have "days of the week" towels. The picture is only stamped but they have a cute crocheted trim. <br />http://house8810.com/Product.aspx?StockNumber=1051.07220<br /><br />Then, Anthropologie actually has embroidered tea towels. They are gorgeous! Expect to pay over $20 per towel though whereas House 8810 you can get a set for just over $20. <br /><br />http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/category.jsp?pageName=Dishtowels&popId=HOME&navAction=middle&navCount=7&pushId=HOME-KITCHEN&id=HOME-KITCHEN-DISHTOWELS-DISH<br /><br />Hope that helps!Monique Willmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472700105725029976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556447827792944342.post-8422632315276055752012-01-08T18:57:19.869-08:002012-01-08T18:57:19.869-08:00Any chance she sells on etsy?

My mother is a nut about collecting and giving and using embroidered linens such as these . . . and has a birthday coming up in February. :) youngestoftwelve@gmail.comDiane Ariashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243483259060628345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556447827792944342.post-2554653083641252902012-01-07T20:08:53.097-08:002012-01-07T20:08:53.097-08:00Thanks so much!

I had to comment on this post because my Grandma made the same type of embroidery towels, I only have one but I just love the ones you made from bedsheets!
