I was given the opportunity recently to receive a couple of tea towels from All Tea Towels, and I am NEVER one to say 'no' to cool free stuff, especially of the fabric variety.

| I know, I should have ironed them! |
I am thinking of using the Brew Up as a backing for a mini-quilt, maybe as part of the Modern Mini Challenge, and I am toying with the idea of chopping up the superb Creamola one for a purse or two. I chose the latter as it immediately reminded me of two of my fellow Brit Bees, Sarah and Fiona (but don't tell them that I like the logo far more than the actual drink!!).
I had a quick Google and came across some wonderful ideas too including these tea towel bags and drawstring bags.
The linen is such great quality, it almost seems a shame to not simply frame them and put them on the kitchen wall.
Al, who is based in Northern Ireland, sent these so quickly after I narrowed down my choice, I would have no qualms about going back as a paying customer. Please pop over and have a look at the amazing selection he has in stock.
Here are a few of my other favourites...
Can you imagine turning the Tunnocks wrapper design into a whole quilt top!?
Those are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI had a craving for those Creamola Foam crystals when I was pregnant, couldn't stop drinking it. I am not sure if you can still buy them, I am talking 33 years ago. You just reminded me of them and now I will have to google and see if I can get some :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteOh Tunnocks tea cake.............
ReplyDeleteoh very fun! i love them all!
ReplyDeleteI love them! (And Tunnock's tea cakes!)
ReplyDeleteHoly S**T!! You have to make a Tunnocks quilt!! That would be amazing!! When my husband and I were courting we were in a bar that had them and he made the wrapper into a ring for me - I still have it :)
ReplyDeleteBrew up? Bloody hell! *runs over to buy*

ReplyDeleteThey are amazing Hadley - off to have a look. They are beautiful and love the lemonade one myself!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh those are so cool! I love the vintage-y look and feel to them. I want! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do the washing and I'll dry, as long as I can the Tunnock's towel! I love Tunnock's caramel wafers, and a quilt using a Tunnock's towel would just be the icing on the cake for me.
ReplyDeleteGreat t-towels! One of my first classes teaching was a quilted bag made with tea towels! They're great fun to sew with! I didn't know of this guy and he's only 1 hour from me! Btw, which one is Sarah and which one is Fi?! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLove these, I persuaded my mum to buy me 2 tea towels for my birthday as they were so beautiful I wanted to make a quilt with them. Cant wait to get started on t and i cant wait to see what you do with these
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I wonder how much shipping to Canada would be?! I neeeeeed a Tunnocks towel!
ReplyDeleteTunnocks Tea Cake Quilt? Oh YES!
ReplyDeleteMy bf gave me a fab handbag mirror with a tunnocks tea cake wrapper backing. Fantastic.
These are all gorgeous ... thank you for sharing ...
HA HA ... my word verification was 'subtle' apparently not a real word! Yay!
Can I just have the teacakes and you can make the quilt? Oh no, wait, I'm on a diet *sigh*
ReplyDeleteFar too god to dry dishes. Ikea has some lovely red heart ones for Valentines just now. XX
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool - I also thought they'd be lovely just framed and hung up. But they'd make awesome tote bags too.
ReplyDeleteMy mum just got given some Clarice Cliff tea towels to sell in aid of her Brest Cancer Care Trek, perhaps I should buy them off her and get creative! I love the lemonade one... :-) xx
ReplyDeleteOh, these are really cool, guess I should try to print my own, now I've had my lesson :)
