ANOTHER BIRTHDAY

Recently I had another Birthday. The older we get the faster these Birthdays seem to come. I was feeling down and not real happy about this one! It is better than the alternative I guess! Then I received a gift from my friend Debbie. It is a Blue Vintage Rose Tea and Toast Tray. It made my day. The tea cup is now a pincushion. You may click the picture to enlarge and see the beautiful stitching and beading on the top of the cushion.





Here is a close up of the top. She added some decorative pins.






I saw this pattern several months ago in the Attic newsletter. The Attic is a shop in Mesa, Arizona. They do mail-order. They are a bit slow in getting orders out sometimes but the wait is worth it. I have never been there but it is on my bucket list. Thanks again Deb. I love it.



The Pattern is by The Stitching Parlor.





Have a great week.






Hugs and Stitches,






Pat

Happy belated birthday Pat!
The gift Debbie stitched for you is exquisite. I love the decorative pins too.
Looking forward to seeing what you decide to stitch next from the Stitcher's Journey book.
Hugs,

You have a very good friend to give such a lovely gift.

In the USA, california specifically, we do not have tea and toast sets. I ordered two of the sets. Though not the lovely pattern you received.
One will become my pincushion and do dad holder, and the other one I will enjoy nightly.
Thank you for showing us your wonderful gift....Karencg
