2012 Crazy January Challenge Finish
Tree of Life Samplings Penny America
36ct Lakeside Linen Maple Sugar
Called for threads-WDW and DMC
Such a lovely and fun stitch! If I could do it over, I would do it on a larger count fabric, as I think this design lends itself well to a larger format. Not sure how I'll finish this but leaning towards a flatfold finish.
Last Sunday my local sampler guild (Northwest Sampler Guild) held their annual tea. Even though they have been holding this tea for many years it was the first time I ever attended. It was a delightful time and our speaker was Carolyn Standing-Webb on Needlework Tools and Toys. Very interesting pics and info.
I wanted to share with all of you some of the show and tell and challenge pieces on display. The challenge this year was to stitch something related to tea. What a wealth of inspiration! Feel free to click on the pics below for closeups.
What a great bunch of stitchers! I feel so fortunate to be a part of this group!

Your finish looks absolutely great. And a flatfold finishing would certainly be perfect for it. Looking forward to seeing what you decided on it.
Congratulations on the finish! I loved seeing pics from your guild's tea--what a talented group!
