I recently had a questions from a customer about Paula’s Vaughan’s Cross stitch pattern “A Cup of Tea and Thee” from Grandmother’s House that I could not answer. Please e-mail me through my contact page if any one knows the answer. Here is the note:
I am currently doing Paula Vaughan’s a cup of tea and thee from grandmother’s house. My question is if anyone else noticed this or knows the answer. On the quilt there is a symbol for a red square with a heart in it. I can NOT find the listing on the threads to know what color this is. Can you help?
Thank you,
Julie
Peace Dove counted cross stitch pattern by Debbie Mumm.
It’s Autumn and the leaves are changing. It’s gorgeous here in Washington. My kids are back at school and soccer has started. I love the weather and the smell this time of year. We just added a deck to the back of our house, so we are enjoying the view at this time of year.
I just finished “Spring Bride” by Lavender and Lace. It turned out beautifully. Lots of beading made the train of the dress elegant. It only took me about 2 months to complete the pattern. It is a counted cross stitch pattern.
I am currently working on “Angel of Grace” by Lavender and Lace. It has gorgeous Autumn like colors in it like green, red and yellow. It is a counted cross stitch pattern.
