Tea Cup Sampler
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs

This cross stitch piece brought to you by Lesley Teare, is particularly elegant and decorative. The twelve porcelain cups are come in pastel colours. They look alike but none is ever the same. Flowers, fruit, birds, bees and butterflies abound, adding life and cheerfulness, but also appear in the tea-cup patterns, creating a mirror effect.

As this cross-stitch chart contains 12 separate cup motifs, you can split your work by working a single cup at a time, maybe one per month, alternating with other works. By the end of the year your sampler will be complete.

The chart by Lesley Teare Designs includes some fractional stitches for detail and comes with a Cross stitch Guide for all stitches.
