Time for Tea

This is a little embroidery hoop I stitched for my eldest daughter's birthday last week.

 
 Inspired by some cups and saucers I had photographed .......
 
The image was drawn onto the fabric freehand using a transfer pencil (the type that disappears when you rub it gently with a damp cloth). I used iron on interfacing on the fabric for the bunting to stop it fraying.

    I love the bunting and the fact you have used interface to protect it and the detail in the teacups are beautiful! Lovely spring colours, your daughter is very lucky!!

I am so glad she shared a link to your lovely blog so we could be friends too! I love your gorgeous embroidery!!! You did a beautiful job! I love the teacups and bunting and the pretty colours you used! I was going to ask about the pattern, but you made this up yourself! Very well done sweetie!!!! I love that the beautiful photos you took of your teacups inspired you and you drew this out free hand. I love to make up my own embroideries too and recently made a poodle one. I know your daughter loved this and I hope her birthday was wonderful! Thank you for sharing! Much love, Paula xo
