Tranquili-Tea
A statement in verse by Eleanor Levie

Serenity, a remedy:
Unwind, and slow down time.
Fluidity for every sense,
Renewal so sublime.

A ritual habitual,
With family continuity.
Solitude or tea for two,
Refreshing opportunity.

Recall, reflect, and reminisce
Put stress and worry on the shelf.
Take tender pleasures such as this,
Warm your spirit. Calm yourself.

Techniques: Collage, paint, machine-piecing and applique, hand and machine quilting, hand embroidery.

Materials: Foil-lined tea bag pouches, tulle, paint, Grandma's tea towels, other vintage linens & trims, cotton fabrics, floss
