Red/white tea towels for applique...

Does anyone here know of a good place (hopefully online!) that sells cotton or linen red/white tea towels? I have some cute redwork that I want to applique onto a few towels for my sister. I don't want it to be "too nice" or she'll put it in a cupboard and not use it, hence the applique rather than actual stitching. I emailed one place - I think it may have been Dakota Cabin Quilts - and never received a reply to my query of "how many of these can you fit into a Global Priority mailer?" So does anyone have a shop they would like to rave about? I want to get started on these - they have to travel from Scotland to Alaska for Christmas/birthday time (we all have December birthdays) - and that's once I have the towels to start my project!

I'd like to know as well. In fact, I'd be happy to find a resource for the toweling so I can make my own - unless I could buy a bunch of tea towels for less than most of LQS charge for them. I've never found any fabric at TSWLTH that I thought would be suitable.

Hi Jo Try this......

I've ordered a couple of things from them before..... not sure if they have what you're looking for, but it's worth a look. I've ordered from them a couple times, and the service is great. If they don't ship Int'l, and you find what you want, let me know and I can help you out.

Jo are you looking for the inexpensive white with narrow red stripes non-terry type towels?? May be able to find them up at the almost restaurant supply store..... Smart and Final. they used to have them, and the oversized white "flour sack" towels too. I will try to remember to check tomorrow. I could pick up some for you and send them along. Let me know off group if you would. I am sure we can work out an exchange of some sort....

There's a wonderful store in Munich with utterly gorgeous kitchen towels. Looked at some the other day with a woven red border plus a border of machine cross stitch. Didn't look at the price -want me to go back? They don't have a website (probably a good thing). They do have many other towels in many other designs! Roberta in D

Emilia (Mini) was with me at the time :-) We exercised heroic restraint. But just for you, dear Jo, I will make a trip over there on Tuesday. How many towels? Upper limit price-wise? Do they need to be checked, all-over design, red borders...? Roberta in D
