Okay! So this might be a bit different. Here is goes.
Name of swap: Embroidery Tea Towel Swap
Requirements: Must make at least one (if you want to spoil your partner with more-it's up to you) tea towel. It can be hand, machine, applique or if you have a vintage towel and want to pass along, that's fine too.
Time line:
Sign up's- June 15th-June 19th
Crafting time: June 20th-July 20th
Anyone that is interested please email me the following information:
Name:
Three of your favorite things:
Favorite color:
Anything else you want me to know:
I am going to pair people up according to their likes.
Once you get your towel from your partner, please try to take a picture so everyone can see how amazing you are!
Any questions, please let me know.
Anyone interested in a swapping some embroidered tea towels? I would love to stitch some up for someone. There are a couple of ways it has been done. One way is that it's a tea towel tour, you have one towel and it goes around to several people or you have a partner and you send to them.

Linda, I am glad to hear it arrived safe and sound....I always worry a little, the post office just doesn't seem as on top of things as they used to be :)
The tea is from a (relatively) local tea house called Tea Gschwendner. I am an avid tea drinker and I even make a fermented tea, so I go through it fast and am always trying new ones, new flavors. Those two are my current favorites so I wanted to share!

Linda, I got your package and I love all of it!!! The redwork chickens are adorable and even the crochet trim is beautiful. And I will put to good use the crochet top towel for sure! You even included some chicken stuff which warms my urban soul - she sent a lovely little calendar and a daily to-do pad with my towels. Thank you so much Linda for being such a great swap partner!! I am sorry that yours got sent out late but you should get it soon.

I'm thrilled you loved it Dionne! Oh and trust me I'm not physic or anything, dauchshunds were listed as one of your faves on the list I received! :) I forgot to include in my note that the little dauchshund is part of a Sublime Stitching pattern called Darling Dauchshunds. I wanted to tell you because you might want to stitch more of the pattern set. Well I had a blast with this swap, enjoy your new things and keep cool in these crazy heatwaves! I know I have been with the wonderful tea you sent me! Have a great week, Hugs!

Heather...I got your fantastic tea towel! Holy dingers girl how did you know I had a dauchshund?! She is sitting on my shoulders as I sit on the couch typing this! Your embroidery was so so SO BEAUTIFUL! And the crocheted pot saver was perfect! I immediately put it to use catching the sweat from my iced tea pot I keep on the table next to me! And the shade of purple worked so well I took it into my bathroom to use it for myself personally! I enjoyed having you as a swap partner a

Dionne I received your beautiful package!!!! I opened it right there at the mailbox on our country lane, I couldn't wait to make it back to the house! I love them, they are beautiful!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The story behind the fabric is wonderful, everytime I look at it I will be reminded of you and Germany! And the Autumn teapots will be perfect in the kitchen during our midwestern autumns, so fun! And the tea! Oh there are no words, it was splendid! I made a cup while I admired my tea towels! Nevermind the 111 heat index yesterday, I wanted to try that tea! :) Thank you so much, I will cherish them always! Now I think I'm going to go have another cup of that tea..........have a wonderful week, I hope we end up swap partners again in the future, this has been such an enjoyment! Hugs!

After I'm done stitching should the towel be washed?, ironed?, starched?
Thanks, Debbie |
