Evelyn, I saw that some of those were called red work, assuming they were printed in red and you stitched over the lines. There are websites for these patterns. I bought some linen towels on which were stitched spoon, knife and fork running, the teapot and cup were laughing, etc. They are just delightful. This past weekend a friend showed me her mother's towels with poodles doing the laundry, ironing, etc. The antique stores often have dealers in linens and I enjoy browsing the lovely handwork. P.S. My sister is named Evelyn.
