This design started as a find of the adorable little tea pot(and little tea cup) charms. I wanted to do a friendship sampler...so I wrote:
I'll put the kettle on
come sit and chat with me.
We'll laugh and share a while
and sip a cup of tea.
Pattern size is 152x80.
Then I wanted a variegated antique blue with some tan in it...like the other flo blue I had overdyed...and overdyed...and overdyed....
So I came up with this fantastic blue (if I may say so) and it fades to a nice tan and it goes real well with the Country French Cafe Mocha linen this is stiched on. I will sew on the charm and make a little pillow with the backing fabric shown. I had been saving that blue floral fabric for the perfect floss to compliment it.
I am also having my model stitcher do this pattern in red for me as I also found this little tea pot charm with a brass finish. You could also finish it without the charm and use buttons or add your initials. Lots of possibilities. Use the charm and add your initial and a friend's for a gift.
The floss and pattern(includes charm) are also listed in my ebay store. Pattern also available pdf.
*****So lets give a few things away! Lets give 5 stitchers a couple skeins of this beautiful floss.
Lets give 5 stitchers a copy of my new friendship sampler pattern which will include the tea pot charm and floss. You will have your choice of red or blue at the time of the drawing.
And lets give one stitcher a complete package of fabric, pattern, charm and floss in the color of your choice.
So...be a follower. Post a comment here. Post on your blog and get another entry. Get an entry for each friend you send.******
Drawing to be April 30th so you have lots of time to enter.
Good luck and happy stitching!
Nancy
