"Tea Party"
Sampler
"Come Share with me a Cup of Tea and Let our Earthly Troubles Be...”
Welcome to our Tea Party! This lovely Tea Cosy design was created during the summer,
a time when there are so many beautiful flowers blooming here in Victoria. I wanted
to include a bit of needle
fantasy for fun and the result is a vine with ‘counted’
crewel work. I included a lot of Cross Stitch too, so those of you who are feeling
a bit crewel challenged will feel more comfortable with the counted areas! The design
shows two stitchers sharing a cup of special tea in the garden beside a white house.
The birds are singing, and the vine curls around the scene in true floral abundance,
giving you that loving feeling. The vine and floral motifs will challenge you to
work a small bit of free form embroide ry,
but these can also be placed more carefully for those of you who want to count out
the placement of each flower, so don’t worry, you’ll do just fine! :) We have used
an elegant frame to show this piece on the front cover, but we’ve also created a
gorgeous lined Tea Cosy model for you as well as the bonus design in this piece,
a cup and saucer
Teacup Pincushion! We found our own gold and cream striped lining fabric
in our local fabric shop, but you can find some to suit your taste. This design
will fit into any decor, and you can even enlarge it for a larger teapot, by adding some fabric around the outside of the design. Just follow the simple directions
at the back of this leaflet to finish your stitching and make your own beautiful
tea cosy. I hope you enjoy stitching and the sharing Tea with your favorite people!
