Cathy's block after my additions |
China Mug |
What fun this was to work on! Calthy's fabrics were all cotton and vintage. The centre block is an embroidered teapot. The first thing I looked for was an area that could be a table, and I found it directly below the big teapot. I added a beaded teapot, cup and saucer and a crystal footed cake plate with some Empire Biscuits. The tablecloth is a little piece of lace with a scalloped edge. Below the lace was my first attempt at a white damask tablecloth, but it looked too heavy, so I added the lace.
To the left of the table is a large china mug with a rose design.
I also worked on four seams, chain stitch with pearls, stem stitch and lilac flowers, featherstitch with pink flowers and a herringbone with pink seed beads above the table.
I love the empire biscuits!
