my free tea pattern

I said ages ago I'd post one of my pattern for everyone to use free of charge. Well, I finally remembered to do it.

The first photo is of the pattern stitched, the second is of the pattern itself. You can print it out and resize to whatever size you need.

In the stitched pattern, I used pure linen fabric and DMC threads Green 580, Mustard 371, Red 814, Blue 161. It's all back stitch and a few French knots.

It would make a lovely tea cozy or a tray cloth, or anything else you could think of. I think it would be a nice Christmas gift project as it doesn't take long to stitch.

Edited later: I've added a larger photo. See below.

Very nice Rhonda!

Here's the pattern. As you can see I changed it slightly when I was stitching.

This is the completed stitchery.

Thank you, Rhonda- this will be the pefect design for a Christmas gift for my MIL. Her mother was British and taught her daughter the tradition of drinking her daily tea. I don't think she can get through the day without he Earl Grey or English Breakfast tea....
