I was one of the lucky ones as I got to make two tea towels for two of my charming friends.. 
here is #1: 
it's decorated.....It's finished..... 
It's an apron....
The pockets are filled with goodies from.....Saulnierville, Nova Scotia, Canada...and not to forget the Acadian Flag is represented...
Oh! did I mention we also have to exchange our favourite summer recipe...And that too goes in the pocket.....
Now this Towel goes to: 
....Erin in Australia!http://www.erinlearnstoquilt.blogspot.com/
More of the same...
#2 is being sewn .. the same pattern is used ...
This tea towel is a nice bright yellow with blue...my favourite colors
The ribbon is sewn for the belt
Pockets are important in an apron...

ReplyDeleteLovely and thoughtful! I love that you got to send these to two non-Canadians, and so they can learn a little more about Canada! This is a fun way that we can see how much we as quilters are alike even though we live in different parts of the world.
ReplyDeleteHi Joan,
ReplyDeleteI know I told you many times, but I must say it again, I love my tea towel and your design idea. I'm going to make a few of these for some friends and tell them that the credit goes to you. They're already jealous that I made so many nice friends this summer outside of the U.S. all through blogging and our common interests. Thanks again.
