Sew Sew's Drink Lots of Tea and Sew Too!

Carol is making a dress from this blue Rosebud fabric.  And she found this beautiful blue and white tatting that is just perfect for her project.

She bought the hanky you see here just for the purpose of removing the Tatting to use on her dress.  She is so clever like that.  And there's more.

She found this old Crochet thread and put it to use.

She crocheted around a baby blanket, adding the lace as she went.  

Such a sweet and delicate touch.

Two more completed blankets by Diane.  Her Satin Stitch is supurb!

And Shirley was crocheting this tiny little edging on a Plisse baby blanket.

Bunny was working on the little Blue Linen Dress.

It was a beautiful day for a Garden Tea Party

We took our tea outside and sat on my porch.  Weather was perfect and the light was fantastic.

I had to go and fetch the Teapot so it would be handy!

Invite a friend over for Tea and stitching.  It's so much fun.
