I just love the old vintage anthropomorphic designs. Since they typically are 60-70 ys old, and I would be too afraid to take an Iron to them... I was thinking about scanning them and compiling them in files so I can print, trace and stitch.I would love to have a whole drawer full of different towels with these images. So I have been a bidding fool on ebay... bidding on whole lots just to get one set. Crazy!
What images are you wild about to stitch.

Woo Hoo I just won a lot off ebay! I was planning on tracing them anyways. I have a hard time taking an Iron to a piece of paper that is that old. I just ordered 20 tea towels.... so I will be ready to go!

I have some old transfers from the 40's and 50's that were included in a batch of sewing patterns that I got from ebay a few years back. I tried to iron some of them about a month ago when I decided I just HAD to do some hand work. Needless to say after so many years the ink just didn't iron nor transfer. I checked out the pattern bee website and it's just perfect! Now i just have to figure out which one I want to start with. Thanks for the link!

OK I know you probably know this, but what about Patternbee? They are repos of the original. I have ordered from there and love them--and you don't have to trace. Here is the lik if you don't know it:

I remember my beloved grandma's kitchen having veggie people towels...when I dried her dishes and we talked I loved to see what the fresh towel she put out would have on it. She also had a few with roosters that had calico appliqued wings and combs and wattles..real cute.

Sometimes it's just more fun to ask someone else!
The only reason I posted the actual dictionary definition is because I was having trouble explaining it in a brief way.
Have a lovely!

I love that kind of embroidery, I have a ton of patterns that I have purchased for machine embroidery. I also have some iron on transfers but not as many. I like to collect them too.

I bought some vintage kitten days of the week transfers and I didn't want to use the originals, so I bought a heat-transfer pencil and tracing paper and copied them that way. It worked really well...and now I have a bunch of tracing paper and the pencil to make my own or copy other ones whenever I want.

Hey guys, can one of you post a pic of these - I'm not sure what you're talking about and it sounds cool. |

So we have probably been bidding against each other. LOL I have quite a few vintage ones if you would like I can make copies and send them to you. I have used them with the iron and the work fine and are still in good shape after being used.
