Tea For Two Blog Hop

It is day two of the Tea for Two blog hop and this is my day to share my project with you.  Thank you to Mdm Samm at Sew We Stitch, Cori at Chitter Chatter Designs and Mary, our cheerleader for all of the work it took to make this happen.
This was a fun project to embroider.  I used white crayon to color the spaces in and then colored over the white with the bright colors.  I was not sure how I was going to finish this project as I was doing the embroidery but once it was complete I decided to make a pillow.  I love decorative pillows!

The pictures below give you a little close view of some of the embroidery.






My pillow sits on a wicker love seat in our dining room. You can  see a little bit of it behind the tea cups in the picture below.



This was such a fun project and I even enjoyed putting the back together.




I put the pillow out in the daylight on our bench on the back porch.  I think it might spend a little time there also this spring and summer.

Thank you for visiting a I hope you continue to enjoy Tea For Two.
Be sure to visit all of the participants in this hop, I know you will be amazed by their creativity.

  4. How lovely! We are loving all this colouring in with crayon and then stitching - might have to try it. It looks so good. It looks super made up into a cushion and is perfect on the outside bench.

  7. This has been a wonderful hop. So much talent and what you created is wonderful! I just love all the colors and the fabric. The fabric you selected you can do so much with it. 17 grandchildren, that keeps you busy and a white to a pastor.

  17. Just lovely - the pillow was a great idea especially with each stichery in a frame. I assume the reason you did the white crayon first was to make the colors turn out lighter in color. Or...is there another reason? What a bright and happy spring project.
