I finished the November Teapot on Sunday afternoon. When I started stitching this one, I didn't think I was going to like it, but kept on stitching anyway, as it wouldn't do to be missing a month in the finished series. It was lousy at first to stitch on the dark fabric, but I used the usually tricks: good light, white towel on my lap, etc. As time went on, it began to grow on me, and now that it's finished, I do like it!
I have now decided that a wall hanging with all twelve teapots isn't going to work. There are too many colored fabrics to deal with, and the wall hanging will be too large. Add to this the 12 co-ordinating teacups that I will be stitching next year, and it gives one more reason why a wall hanging will not be practical. So I have decided to frame each one individually, under glass, and hang them all around my kitchen, on the soffit above the cabinets. Now I need to find 24 7 x 7 frames, wholesale......

Eva, Congrats on your Nov. Teapot finish! It's gorgeous!
24 frames!!! Have fun with that:)
Your kitchen will look so amazing when they are all up!!!!!! Can't wait to see a picture of that~
So pretty!! I've got January, February and March to do and now more teapot patterns to buy for this year?? Aye! LOL
Great finish! I love the dark fabric this one is stitched on. I know it's crap to stitch on but the results are fantastic.
I'm so glad you decided to stitch the teacup set too. These are all going to look so wonderful in your kitchen.
I love these teapots. No idea where to find the frames though. I would search online.
Sweet finish!
I'd try IKEA if you have one near you for the frames. Sometimes they're pretty reasonable.
If you to my blog...I have a link to a frame place that I use all the time. She is in VA and will do the sizes you want. If you want them plain so you can paint...she does that too. She doesn't do glass. You are doing a beautiful job. Huggerz laurel
