When I first decided to take part in this Row Along, this idea immediately popped into my head! The table runner is completely made from Northcott Fabrics, including the tea which was leftover from the Christmas Carol Row Along, Angels We Have Heard on High. Thank you, Marian Pena at Seams to be Sew for getting me involved again!

Northcott generously donated fabrics to each of the designers. I found that the BEATRICE fabric line really fit my design the best. The darkest blue fabric (21538-48), was used for the teapot and cups, border HST and binding. I chose a medium blue fabric (21540-48) for the teapot lid and saucers. Looking for an offwhite, I found this background (21537-11). The “tea” (9020-350) is from their awesome TOSCANA line. That line of fabrics has every color you would ever want. They aren’t quite solids but have shading to them.
Just the other day I realized that this is not a new theme for me. Sitting down and having a cup of tea or coffee with a friend, is always a time of sharing and connecting.
I made this cross-stitch sampler back in the 1980’s. 
Then there is this UFO that I started with teapots purchased in the Netherlands in 1998. Cut out the teapots and appliqued them to a white-on-white background. Since there were no cups I designed the paper pieced cups. Now the quilting needs to be finished!
