Tea towel hand embroidery patterns

Patterns to stitch on a kitchen towel, which is also called a tea towel: kitchen subjects, the days of the week, edgings and corners.

The days of the week are there twice, once as the word between two garlands of laurel and once with its household job, from Monday wash day to Sunday day of rest. The kitchen subjects are fruit cut in halves, a cupcake, a cake under a glass dome, a pizza, a teacup, a teapot potholder, a soup tureen, a shelf of three herb pots, words such as KITCHEN, EAT and GATHER and, each drawn in one red thread, a crock of kitchen tools, a jar of jam and a sugar bowl. The edgings run along a hem, among them flowers, leaves, hearts, stars, scallops and the Greek key, and many have a corner to match.
