Carolyn's tea cosy is made from old fashioned prints and was fun to work on. I chose the chicken scratch on the first side (above). I love doing chicken scratch and I was glad that she had one on each side, and one was left still to do. I also embroidered some blue bullion daisies on both sides of the cosy. On the first side there was a small rectangle that looked just like a table, so I filled it with beaded goodies. And on the second side I added a simple cross stitch seam treatment in red, white, yellow and royal blue.
