Tea party


It's always time for tea in my house but this little tea pot was inspired by a trip to the wonderful Rusty Shears Cafe in Whitby.  Not only do they serve excellent tea and cake on vintage china, but they have a dazzling selection of gins!  Just the ticket after a damp walk along the cliffs from Robin Hood's Bay last weekend.

This is a trial piece that I'm thinking of making for my craft stall at  Manorlands' Garden Party which takes place on Sunday 8th July 2018.  It would look nice on a little cushion or perhaps some cards.  It's machine embroidered using a reverse applique technique.  Two or more layers of fabric are stitched onto a background and then cut back to reveal the different colours.
