Tea anyone?

It helps to pay attention! I am reminded of this every time I pull one of these stunts.  When I look back on my last post, I can see where I went wrong the first time. My initial join to the teapot was in the wrong spot and that throw everything else off.  When did I notice this, you may ask? When I got to the last join I would answer. This realization led to this:



So I was brave girl (not so much) and got the scissors out and remedied the error. Now my teapot looks like this.



Thanks Martha for a lovely pattern. Now to find a teacup.

Thanks for stopping by,

Teapot and Stash

My teapot is finished. Well.... sort of. I finished the teapot but decided to add Martha's inside motif. I am using the Navy Blue Lizbeth Sz 20 from my latest stash enhancement, along with 2 of the new shuttles. I wanted to try the Sunlit and New Clover large. I am definitely a post shuttle kind of gal, so I am loving the size and feel of the new Clover. I think I have found my newest favorite shuttle. Though I think the Sunlits will come in handy with the size 80 thread and with Celtic patterns.


 I am half way through with the inside motif so I should be able to post a truly complete project soon.
Thanks for stopping by,
