I got a call on Saturday from Andrew Rowdon who has become the new head of the Felixstowe Chamber of Commerce. He wanted their brand new logo put on a towel. They are exhibiting at the Suffolk Show today. It is not something I have done before as you normally need a very expensive embroidery [...]

Towel Day http://www.towelday.org/ is an annual celebration on the 25th of May and as a tribute to the late author Douglas Adams (1952-2001).

At last I have found a high quality organic hooded baby towel. When my new website is ready I can show it to you all in all its glory. If the name is longer I will applique the fabric letters on the opposite end. My customers have been asking me for a long time if [...]

One of my tweeter friends Henry Matter ordered a set for a friend. He kindly took some lovely photographs for me. They will [...]
