Tea Blog-a-thon Week 4

Due to being away for a week, I'm running late with this! Here is Week 4:
April 6 - April 12
Stitches-for-Tea

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.

Well, this has to be the easiest or the most difficult topic for me, depending on how you see my dilemma! I have several hundred tablecloths, over a hundred aprons, nearly 100 teacosies, and thousands of doilies, centrepieces and other linens to choose from! I'll select one from each category to post here. If I had more time, I would set up a table with a nice display, but I don't, so these won't be matching, but will be straight from my linen collection blog Patra's Place.

This cloth and matching napkins is stitched in Assissi work. One of my favourite stitching styles.



These pictures show the back and front of an embroidered teacosy.



This apron is my favourite in my entire collection. I love the design, and the extraordinary stitching used to complete it.
