We seem to buy fridge magnets when we go places, rather than tea-towels.<br />There are some great quilts (on Pinterest) made from these types of tea towels. It'd certainly be a great memory quilt.Anorina @SameliasMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210287822137630366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-56464653165243471612020-01-30T12:06:04.689+11:002020-01-30T12:06:04.689+11:00Thanks Libby.
