Don't miss the chance to own a unique piece of embroidery history. 20th and 21st Century Tea TowelsIn the early 20th century, American housewives would often reuse rough cotton animal feed sacks by cutting them up into dish towels (also known as 'flour sack towels'). Not content with their unfinished appearance, however, they embroidered them with intricate patterns, despite the difficulty of working with the coarse weave of the sacks. This tradition of decorating tea towels and using them for creative expression arguably become more important to many people than their obvious functional utility. When materials are brought into the home, we often want them to say something about our tastes - whether items of clothing or kitchen accessories (what are tea towels and apron really but clothing for the kitchen?)
