Teatime

23cm x 17cm x 2cm

This embroidery pattern was bought on a childhood trip to Tasmania with my parents. It took many years before I could bring myself to make it — but I'm so glad I did. It's a gorgeous piece, and one close to my heart, given my love of tea.

"Teatime" is adorned with a number of special pieces from my collection to give it an even more personal, layered look. It's then mounted on a plate hand-painted by the same special lady artist.

Details include:

• Embroidery

• Hand-painted plate

• Brooches

• Beads and pearls

• Mixed textiles
