It was my friends birthday today and we lunched together- just the ladies ....I embroidered this tea towel for her as she loves cooking and eating, (I excel at the latter and don't do so well with the former). On completion I realised it was probably more decorative than functional ...as I don't really know how it would go in the wash... but it does look nice on our stove so I may have to make another.... the red stitching continues... maybe one day I will stitch something in another colour...but red is just so good.
Well done, that's fantastic. I bet your friend was thrilled with it. I'm a sucker for red also - keep going, you can never have enough of it!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic, what a gorgeous gift, and I agree, the red is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLovely Cath. Go with the red I say...it's fabulous.
ReplyDeletewonderful!! stick with the red!
ReplyDeleteI have a myrtle & eunice & a yardage design tea towel that are absolutely for decorative only purposes, so I get you.

Nothing wrong with a decorative tea towel ... I would also like your oven ... ours is from 1960 and whilst I admire its design ... it only has one speed which I like to call the disco inferno speed ie...'burn baby burn'
ReplyDeleteI really love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could bare to use it though.
And I love the red.
It's gorgeous Cath! I have two 'only for decoration' tea towels - one to make the oven look pretty and one to make the dishwasher look pretty.
ReplyDeleteRed is perfect and it looks wonderful on your stove!
ReplyDeleteOh I likey, and decorative is so much nicer than functional... now your dear friend has an excuse not to dry up AND a pretty tea towel to look at!
ReplyDeleteWhen you're on to a good thing...
ReplyDeleteYou hearing me?
And like lucky birthday lady would ever actually use it - except maybe to polish silver cutlery - but only around the tea towel edgery...
Yep ... red is the bestest!!!!
