Spice Tea with Brown Sugar, Please

The Brown Sugar Stitchers gathered for their annual tea Saturday. Of course, there was a challenge. This year's challenge was to make any testile project with a tea theme. Spice Tea with Brown Sugar, Please was my entry. It is machine pieced and quilted and measures 24 x 32 inches.

Now that it has done its showing off at the tea, it is for sale.
