That is the cutest embroidery pattern ever! I absolutely love it with the colors for spring!
What a sweet towel, I just love hand embroidery.
Hugs,

I collect vintage tea towels and this one is too cute, and even if its not old it has that great old vibe that is so sweet. They sell super old fashioned embroidery patterns for way cheap ( like $ 1.30 an envelope for 6 or more designs ) at a small company called: Aunt Martha’s Hot Iron Transfers, part of :
Colonial Patterns Inc.
340 West 5th Street
Kansas city , Missouri 64105
You know, those sweet days of week ones with kittens, rabbits and so forth in various tasks, or the “Vegetables for the Kitchen” ones for on an apron , potholders or towels. The list goes on and they are all the same exact designs they have been selling since the 1940’s ! Around here, in Lancaster County PA, they sell them in the fabric stores that cater to the plain people or quilters.
I have a nice collection of Aunt Martha’s (and a few other brands), some of them going back to my mom and grandma’s days, and, oh, yes! I do still use them!
This is one is cute as a chick’s ear!
hi Karlyne, I have a whole stack of those little yellow Aunt Martha’s envelopes, just can’t resist them, but, uh, I don’t own an iron! ( yep, life is too short to iron) akkk. looks like ‘free hand” for me, I guess I can copy them by looking at the pictures anyway.
I inherited the iron from my mom! And the only thing I iron is pretty much these transfers!
Too funny! Yep, we have our priorities , don’t we? My mother didn’t iron either, so nothing to inherit. hahah
My mother actually gave the iron to me a couple of years before she died. I think she just had it for transfers, too!
