I won this gorgeous teacosy on eBay from a guy in England who said he was cleaning out an elderly relative's belongings. In the same package were the items below (the blue embroidery and the applique cloth). I couldn't quite believe this cosy was hand stitched when I saw the photo on eBay, but I decided to take a punt, and I am so pleased that I did. The stitching is so detailed, it is difficult to scan a good picture. On the other side of the cosy is a small patch of flowers.

Oh Gina, I'm green with envy...this is so gorgeous!! Happy day when you won this. I'm glad for you.
ReplyDeleteOh wow this is pretty! I recently bought a lightweight bed cover with a southern belle on it...I need to post a picture so you can let me know what you think!
ReplyDeleteHi girls, thank you for commenting! She is rather special, isn't she. Laurie, I am going to your blog RIGHT NOW, to see if you have photographed the bedcover you mentioned - sounds gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHey Patra, I just posted some photos of the southern belle coverlet, which is different from the material I am using for an apron, if you want to take a peek.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! Such a gorgeous tea-cosy.
