Welcome to Show and Tell Friday hosted by Kelli
Today I am sharing one of my favorite things in my kitchen. This is a vintage
hand towel.

This towel was made by mother many years ago. It is actually hand applique. I don't think my mother ever did anything like this again. She was never a quilter.
And stopped sewing when I was in elementary school. She began working full time.
I began cooking the evening meal at our house when I was in 5th grade. My mother worked at Montgomery Wards at night. She would cook the meat and leave in the oven and I was responsible for the rest. I was even allowed to choose the vegtables.
Which BTW was rather funny because once I learned to cook frozen peas and liked them I cooked them a couple of times a week!
Here is another towel that I purchased on Ebay

Thank you for coming over to see my Show and Tell this morning.

I love that applique. What a treasure to have from your mother.
How precious. Those things made by our mamas hands...just touching!
Blessings to you today, sweet sister.
What detail! I love the NoNo towel! My hubby likes to buy white towels-I've never figured that out. Maybe because they look so beautiful when they are new, BUT that sure doesn't last around here-lol. I hung towels up in the bathroom and he refuses to use them-guess he was raised with NoNo towels too!
Your kitchen towels are very nice, and I loved the story. I like your "No-No" towel idea, but I'm not sure it would work in my kitchen. Take care.
How cute! I just cleaned (and now need to iron) my mother's vintage dish towels.
Thank you for sharing your special treasures with us! So pretty.

Hello! I saw your blog yesterday! I love the designer, I have used a couple of her blog designs since I found the link on your site! Thank you for sharing your treasures!
Treasure towels for sure!
Which towel does a man grab?
Once a plumber needed to use my guest bath room. I had "display only" vintage done by hand hemstitchhed towels and I had towels that you use next to the sink. Which towel did he use? You guessed it!
I love the hand towel, its so cute. I have a quilt I am making that similar.
