April 6 - April 12
Stitches-for-Tea
La-Tea-Dah's instructions for the week:
Share ideas and pictures that involve stitching for the tea table. Any kind of stitches count: sewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet, tatting, quilting, etc. The work can be yours or of someone else, but should be homemade rather than done by factory machines. Ideas are napkins, tea cozies, table linens, and other creations made with tea themes.

I have a few tea things that I have stitched up--LOL. I guess I will share some of them just because it is what I do...
One of my Tea Cup and Saucer Totes with a matching tea towel
Tea Apron fashioned after my grandmother's apron from her wedding trousseau in 1921
A scalloped reversible tea cozy
Tomorrow I will post a lovely vintage hand-stitched tea cloth and napkin set that I use on my kitchen table. I just need to photograph it...

OH! Your Tea Totes are beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous wares. I wish I had time for such creativity... alas,life is too busy.
God Bless,

Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitched tea things. They are elegant and lovely! I love the design for the tea towel applique and the copy of your grandmother's apron. The teacup tote is handy (I have one as well; it makes transporting them so easy!) and your tea cozy is feminine and pretty. It's wonderful that you are so involved in the art of sewing --- it's becoming a lost art, but I hear that a revival is in store!
Thank you for sharing!

The reversible tea cosy is exquisite.
Oh, what lovely things you have! I have a few of them on my Mother's Day wish list ~ smile and sigh!
Thank you for sharing all the lovely pics and we'll look forward to stopping in to see the rest later!
Have a lovely week!
I have a Tea Cup Tote I ordered from you in 2006 and I love it! I am so glad I found your products again through this fun blog-a-thon!
Linda,
I'm so glad you let me know! It's good to hear from you again.
What beautiful things you make. I love the teacup tote, and the apron is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work.
You have such beautiful things! I especially like the wreath in the post below. How creative~*~*~*~*
You are so talented. I love all of your beautiful things.
I love your tea totes! They are beautiful!
I LOVE looking at your tea items. You have the best looking things that you have created. The fabrics are so cute and you have used them all wonderfully. Good work!

Ooo-la-la I love all your beauties and the way you displayed them and photographed them. Just gorgeous. The apron patterned after your grandmother's is fabulous!!
Beautiful! I'm in awe. I'm having a strawberry themed tea party in early June--is there a way to get a copy of your teapot applique pattern? I have the PERFECT strawberry fabric to use and would LOVE to use it on some napkins and tea towels!
Love, love, love your tea cozy and tea towels! It's all so beautiful!
Oh my goodness, these are some of the most clever creations I've ever (never seen) before! Love the teacup tote!
Tea totes! Honestly, the things that I am learning! Those are wonderful, but the thing I love most is the apron fashioned from your grandmother's wedding apron. That is simply amazing!
You have beautiful tea linens!! I love your choices of color and the tea apron is my absolute favorite - I feel inspired to make my own tea apron!!

Oh my, your tea totes are all beautiful, the pink apron is precious.
I love your beautiful tea things, especially the scalloped tea cozy! The copy of your grandmother's apron is so lovely...Kathy
I just love aprons and the one you have is absolutely beautiful! I think I should like to try to make a scalloped edged tea cozy. It looks very useful as well as beautiful.
I think you are the Queen of lovely tea stitching! Everything is just beautiful!
