Kate Willoughby said...

I like this TT a lot. I cross-stitched some paper ornaments with ME's designs on them. They're teapots. Her stuff is so unique.

Aren't her designs gorgeous? I have a couple pattern books with teapot ornaments, bookmarks and other items and have just finished a larger counted cross-stitch design as a friend's Christmas present. Soem sections were a major pain, but it turned out beautifully!

Thanks for stopping by! :)
