Hello Ladies! :)
Just wanted to remind you that your mail by date for this swap was Feburary 21st. Hoping to see what wonderful tea towels you all recieve and that you all are having fun with it.
P.S. If you have not mailed your tea towel yet, please make sure that you have emailed your partner to let her know what's going on with you. :D
THANKS <3
I think maybe it is too late for a Valentines Tea Towel Swap what with it being 3 weeks away, but how about a Spring or St. Patrick's Day swap?
Here's how it works. You sign up here. I will close sign ups on Jan 30th and post partners as we go. That gives a week to get all signed up. Then you must mail by February 21st.
After I post the partners, it is up to you and your partner which type of tea towel you want to do. Please contact one another to exchange your information.
I know there have been some troubles in the past with not following through, but I know that all of your ladies who sign up will hold up your end of the swap. :)
Looking forward to hearing and seeing about your beautiful tea towels! :D
hugs
Jessie

Ya know thats funny, because its really been bugging me to. You know what I'm wondering though.. I couldnt see the post date on this one, it was smudged (was wondering if this one was the first or second)... and the envelope was a little ripped.
Ed and I were discussing it, we came to the conclusion that maybe when it went through the sorter, maybe the envelope got riped and the towel got sepreated from it, AND,,,, just maybe they deemed it underliverable? Please let me know if it comes back to you. The shocker was that it made it all this way with a regular stamp. I was having bad flash backs of the button swap when all those buttons came back!
Oh happy day!

Bernadine,
Thanks you for the AMAZING tea towel! I LOVE it!
I'm so inspired. It's my favorite color, green with another shade of green in big polka dots. Flowers are embroidered around the polka dots, so they are the flower centers.
It's kind of like a sampler, with all different embroidery stitches to make the flowers and stems. There's a cute spider dangling from it's embroidered web. SO creative!
Now I need to get busy and learn some more embroidery stitches. Bernadine, have you embroidered long? You are great at it!

Bernadine,
I know- I'm terrified to wash certain things, so they just have to stay dirty and blend in with the farm look!
Or get spot cleaned , on certain occasions!
XO-
Mary
PS I made the towel by tracing cookie cutters onto Therma Bond, and then doing the applique process. I LOVE my cookie cutters!

Dear Meadowcrone,
I'm so glad you liked the tea towel! I had so much fun making it. No worries about the wait- gives me a reason to check the mail!
It's funny how sometimes the things we send each other turn out to be so perfectly personalized! I really wanted to put the lamb on there- I was a little afraid my applique would come out looking more like a lump- but it was lamb-y after all.
Take Care,
Mary LD

If you'd like to post a picture, the easiest way that I know how is to use photobucket. You upload a picture (and it is secure) to their site. Once it is uploaded, they will provide you with an HTML code.
When you post here, you copy that code into your message and it will display your picture once you've hit "Submit Reply"
:)
hugs
Jessie
~ I'm still trying to find my camera so I can post the pic of the one that Sharon sent me. :D

Mary, I received the tea towel, that you made, today. I LOVE it, it is beautiful. My lambs will all start appearing end of April, chicks, next month,bunnies, whenever they feel brave enough and kittens too. No robins yet, too much snow but I heard the geese honking, as they flew overhead, the other night. They are all represented on that beautiful towel. It is as if you could see inside my life, thank you. I finished your tea towel today but will mail on Friday, pay day. Sorry you have to wait so long. Thank you for the lovely card too, I think they are the bonus in all our swaps.
