Default 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......

www.embroiderthis.com

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....BG

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!

bribe you with.

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...?
