All the Tea in China
"Home is Where They Love You" is finished! And last night I played with the post-stitching tea-dye instructions. I'm not sure how I feel about it, honestly...I was expecting a bit more variation. However, the instructions also suggesting rubbing the fabric with coffee grounds in spots, and since I don't have coffee in the house, I skipped that step.
So here is my before and after:
I definitely prefer the more "aged" look of the tea-dyed, regardless. And I made changes (of course) - the pattern had an alphabet in capitals above the house, and the line where I stitched my initials and date was just numbers 0-9.

Craft Sale!
So my mother and I set up our little table at the craft fair this past weekend. And we didn't do terribly! I sold $125 worth of needle...

I agree. I really like the aged look of the tea-dyed finish. It's a lovely finish with a lovely sentiment. Happy stitching! Andrea
The colors work so much better with the tea look and your changes make it unique to you. I like it!
I agree, it looks so nice with the tea-dye. I've never tea-dyed after stitching but it works really well.
