Look at the beautiful Tea Towels that I received.
Grey/Silver and black. With black, Gery/silver embroidery hearts on the bottom.(2 the same)Tea towels have been cut away at the bottom.
They are going to look great in my Kitchen.
I then also received a lovely FSL Angel, I will hang in my sewing room, and remember my SS every time I look at it.
Thanks so much for my wonderful gifts, my SS did a fantastic job.
It was worth the wait.
Hugs and love Yvonne xxx
Yvonne, that is stunning. I wonder how that is done? Way to go Secret Sister.
They are fabulous, Yvonne, and sure were worth the wait. Well done to your Secret Sister. And well done to you as well for posting in 3 places so we could all see them!
Thanks for the comments. Yes I thought in posting it on the 3 links that everyone would see them. Wish all the towels were all together for us to view them together. Hugs Yvonne
This is really a stunning towel. How do you think that edging was done? Is it applique or stitching only?
I am so pleased to post that I received my towels today. They are stunning. Will post a picture tomorrow.
As I have to get ready for my Daughters Dinner Party. She is 32 today.
IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT.
Hugs and love Yvonne

I am still waiting to see where is the cutie that received my towels. And it is already the 11th June. Hugs Marie
Wow, I don't have time to comment on each of these, but they are so great! Way to go SS's. You've all done an awesome job!
we still have towel that have not been accounted for - TTT
I'm still picturing the ones I did hanging around a deserted island with Tom Hanks and a volleyball named Wilson :(
Thank goodness the ones I did got off the deserted island eventually and found their way to their recipient. Huge relief!
I hope this helps others to see all these lovely towels. Was there a Postal Strike somewhere or something?
Sad very sad, still no sign of my towels at the Post Office!!! It's now two weeks after the date it was suppose to be here. I don't know what happened or have my SS forgot. Hugs Louise
Hang in there, it took 6 weeks for my SS to get the ones I sent and I sent them priority!!
Thanks for posting this. It gives those of us waiting to see theirs have been received some hope!
Talk to the postmaster at your local post office! We had an express package that was misrouted, and then refused at the post office because it was 1 cent short on postage. It is back to the sender now. How frustrating!! Not the first time either.
New reply in Sue's update post with Cindy's towels.
Sending it back to the top. Hopefully there are still some more to arrive yet.
I sent mine weeks ago and have not seen a response. Love Chris
Me as well, Chris. I'm thinking the mail took a whole lot longer than we were told it might!
THANK YOU to my Secret Sister - I received my towels in the mail and I am so thrilled with them - they will make my kitchen LQQK so special - I appreciate the time and effort that it took for these to come to me - as well - I love the sweet home made friendship card with the handmade yellow rose and for letting me know your were OUT STATIONED and that was the reason for delay. WAY to go Secret Sister - you are the best because you are mine.
The sayingon the towels:
Love is a fruit in season at all time and within the reach of every hand. Sister Theresa
Those are lovely, Shirlene and the saying really good too. Well done, Secret Sister, and thanks Shirlene for showing us.
thank you Mariann.
Just for the record - that is Mother Teresa - so sorry for posting that incorrectly.
Oh Shirlene these are lovely. Someone has made these with great care and attention to detail
A link to a message from Lucy, ackowledging receipt of her tea towels.
Recieved my towels and am so thilled with the beautiful designs and colors! My SS did a wounderful job and want to say a big THANK YOU to her and her lovely gift. I know he made it with love and care and that makes it even more special!

They are lovely, Christie. Love the hanger part on top. Way to go SS. Hugs. Nan W
Christie, so glad to know that your partcipated in the towel swap, too. These are lovely - way to go Secret Sister.
fund while searching for mine.
Thanks for that, and not sure if others have the same results, but none of your links are taking me directly to the post, just to a general page full of posts :)
here's the post with pics that I did some time back.

Is there any way to merge the 2 threads of this tea towel swap info? It's hard to keep track with 2 places going. Still waiting to hear that the package I sent has arrived. I certainly thought that 3 weeks was plenty of time to get to Europe from US. By now we are talking almost 5 weeks! Oh well. Hugs. Nan W
If you look further down this page, Shirlene has put a link to the other thread where Sue asked for people to check in whether they've received & sent.
Link to another acknowledgement of receipt of towels.
The lovely Tea Towels I recieved before the 25th. I had to look for them as I set it aside to open after the 25th and got very busy and forgot about them, lol! Thank you to my secret sister!!
Diane
Diane, they are lovely - I do that sort of thing, too. Hehehe! Way to go Secret Sister.
This time I pressed the correct buttons !
Hugs, Bonnie
I received these gifts from England. They look great in my kitchen !!
Thank you again SS.
Double hugs, Bonnie
It's a very easy button to miss, Bonnie! You did well this time though. Your towels look great. Lovely bright colours! Well done to your SS.
What a lovely set of towels Bonnie - so happy they will work with your kitchen. Way to go Secret Sister.
Oh my all these are so beautiful I can't wait to receive mine they must be in the post any day now as soon as I receive them I will post pictures too. Hugs Louise
I think the mail has taken longer this round than many of us anticipated. Good for you, being so patient. Yours may also have been one of the re-sends. Good things come to those who wait, or so they say :)

These are lovely Bernadette - I like how the background fabric and the design work so well together - Way to go Secret Sister.
This swap has been such fun. I just can't believe that my package is taking more than a month to arrive in Europe from Texas! I really thought I mailed it early enough to arrive on time. All the towels are lovely and I would be proud to get any of them. Way to go sisters! Hugs. Nan W
I've just been admiring all the tea towels. Great job ladies.
All very lovely.
How many cuties took part in this swap ?
Let's keep this up front - for others to post - we should be seeing a few news ones this weekend.
Some of you might check this posting by Sue recently, as well:
Well, see what the postie brought me today, all the way from Beaufort in SC. They are terrific and their sender is quite a poet too! Well done Secret Sister. I love them. Lovely colourful writing! They were also wrapped in a nice pink printed fabric and a lovely white ribbon. Those will find a use here too. Thanks so much!
Mariann, these are very cute and I love the colors, too. Way to go Secret Sister.
Here is another one - it was posted in PROJECTS:
I hope this keeps coming up - to get the rest of the Towel Swap Gifts - I will post - when I receive mine, too.
You all got some really beautiful towels. Sounds like you all had a lot of fun. I would like you to consider adding me to your SS list. Thank-you all for sharing with us.
To join the exchange list, email Sue D at cutesecretsanta@yahoo.com and let her know if you'd like to be in the Secret birthday exchange, Secret Santa or general exchanges (like this one!). You will be asked for your colour and design style prefs when the next exchange is coming up.
Waited to see if it worked and it didn't. Must be me....lol. Here we go again....SORRY!
Sorry don't know what I did wrong as My picture didn't show up. Am going to try again. Thanks again to my SS the towel and matching cloth are very nice and I like them a lot. DH took the pics as I was head over heels with a project and pics don't do them justice. Thanks again and sorry about mixup.
I received the lovely towels from Australia yesterday evening. I do have to say that my SS has done well, since she had a challenge, for my kitchen is brink, and the only trim I have is Ivy, but I love the Australian prints she used.
Oh - and I forgot to add that she sent 2 nice swatches of some Aussie prints - thank you....hmmm - got me to thinking - maybe we need to do a fat quarter swap - it would be neat getting fabrics that we normally do not get to see in our areas.
Beth, these look nice on your brick wall - I too like the Aussie prints - I like your idea of a fat quarter swap, too. Way to go Secret Sister.
I sent mine a while ago and haven't seen it posted on here, I hope the person who gets them does put them up to showcase. Love Chris
I just arrived home from Bali to find a parcel on my doorstep. Thank you so much. They go with my kichen beautifully

Caroline, these are lovely 0 I hope they match your kitchen - Way to go Secret Sister.
Apologies for the delay in sharing the pictures of my tea towels. They are beautifull and as well as embroidering the designs and decorating them with the gingham ribbon I am pretty sure they made the towels themselves. My grandson opened the parcel from South Africa with me and wants to keep them. Thanks again for my beautiful gift and I hope you have as much joy from the towels you receive
Where are all the towels? Thought we would see more pic's. Hugs & Stitches, Liz
