As much as it can be difficult to start a major organizing stint, one of the best rewards is rediscovering things. I had actually been thinking about these long lost tea towels recently. For the life of me I could not figure out where they might have gone. Had I given them away? I thought that the plan had been to make them for myself…
Embroidered Linen tea towels by Heather Lee Bea
Originally meant to be a set of three, I had decided to embroider some linen from my stash with kitschy fruit motifs and, for further whimsy, add the fruit names in french because they are funny sounding words.

My problem was that I could not think of another funny sounding food item to go with them. somehow during the move last summer, they were stored in the bottom of a bin of mending projects. At long last, they were rediscovered when I was sorting out the sewing room this winter. You know that extreme joy you get when you find something you thought was gone forever – that happened to me with these. It made the tedious business of going through many bins of stuff worth it.
Any suggestions for the third tea towel?
