A New England Style Tea Cozy

I mentioned to a few chapter members that I saw a delightful tea cozy sitting on the shelf of BF Goood Stitch in Salem Massachusetts. It was designed by Mary Beale in 1996 and is called the Boston Tea Party. Here is some more information for anyone who wants to know more about it or perhaps stitch it. Her chart is designed to be done in needlepoint on 18 count canvas  or cross stitched over two on 30 count evenweave or linen.

One person wrote an extensive entry in her blog about the piece which you can see here:  http://carolinastitcher.blogspot.com/2015/07/mary-beale-tea-cozy-and-more.html

If after seeing pictures and reading about it you would like to stitch it you can get the chart for $5.00 at Mary Beale's online shop at : http://www.marybeale.com/shop/miscellaneouscharts.html
