Walker's 33 - Towels for Every Occasion

walkers 33
read the back

I bet you thought I was gone for good, huh? Well, here I am again, after a very busy few weeks. My posts may slow down as I do actual work, but I'm still here! Here's an old Walker's transfer for tea towels and pillowcases. My set is cut and partly used but I have all the patterns you see on the front of the envelope and a few more: there are scallop borders , butterflies, birds and flowers, baskets, His and Hers monograms, floral wreaths, and a daisy pattern. Oddly, the basket design I have isn't the same as the one on the envelope, but it's similar.

I really liked these almost military-looking monograms and the dainty butterfly. Hope you do, too!

Another set of transfers I received from the wonderful, generous Robin. There are 3 each of a large basket and rose motif for pillowcases. The envelope is in great condition and two basket motifs have been cut out but are still in the envelope. I trimmed a little off the side of this image so it can print better:

Thanks again Robin!

Mailorder 86 - Cross-Stitch China; Bizarre Animals

Mailorder 86 - teacup pattern
7 days of the week designs for tea towels like this one featuring a cross-stitched plate and other kitchen china. Also a large waterlily motif that would be nice for a pillowcase, floral borders, baskets and corner motifs. There are also 3 bizarre and adorable animals: a prancing lamb, fuzzy duck and this thing:

Mailorder 86 - weird squirrel-cat-skunk pattern

Is it a squirrel? A cat? Or maybe a skunk (check out that big stripe down its back)? Drunken chipmunk? And is its hind leg broken? Really, there are so many weird possibilities for this animal, which my sheet claims is a kitten... :) My sheet is almost complete - 1 small motif is cut out of the edge.

Mailorder 64 - Cutesy Angel Heads

Mailorder 64 - angel patterns

How do you like these "cherubic angels' heads"? They appear on an uncut, unused sheet marked "64" with TONS of different motifs. There are His and Hers floral pillowcase designs, rose baskets, roses and ribbons, cherubs holding ribbons, herbs with names, a bee and ladybug border, a tiny script alphabet and large butterfly potholder motifs. Honestly, there are so many designs crammed together it's easy to miss them!

Superior 137 - 22 Motifs for Pillowcases, Towels - Linens

3 designs for pillowcases or towels (you could only call them 22 if you split every single design up, I suppose). :) One large cross-stitch design, floral sprays, and a flower basket.

My envelope is clumsily creased in places - my transfer sheet is not complete. There are motifs missing from the top and bottom, but I'm not sure if they just repeat what is already there.
