I liked each design very much, but Sunday's design puzzled me, as I didn't know what it was supposed to be. Alicia referred to it as a "cheese lady". A quick Google search revealed that a cheese lady is a piece of Polish pottery, so named because it is used for serving cheese (and sometimes pancakes.)
And even though I have never set my eyes on a cheese lady up until now, I really want one. Even though I do not collect pottery, even though I do not serve wedges or wheels of cheese, and even though I do not serve pancakes often. I just think they are so neat! For now I will have to enjoy Sunday's tea towel.
The towels are edged with fabric binding, which I thought was a lovely touch. The first picture shows three fabrics which I've bought so far. I still have to hunt down four more prints.

I'm LOVIN it!
There are a bunch of cheese ladies on ebay. I have a few pieces of Polish pottery and love them.
I like the idea of the fabric binding. Thanks for sharing.

The pancake idea is GOLD. We're a big pancake family over here and that would be perfect--love the black and white too.
Oh-h-h-h! I want one too! I checked out ebay and they have lots!
Sob! I'm so pleased you are enjoying the pattern, and it looks absolutely fantastic!
Thanks, Alicia! =)
I'll have to look on e-bay. Thanks for the tips. =)
Very nice job.
Alicia did an amazing job of capturing the little lady into an embroidery design! She is quite charming ... I can see why you want one.
