Artist Therese May depicts a lively scene of friends taking tea in this quilted fabric wall hanging. Two smiling teapots face each other across a table with teacup characters. The checkered tablecloth recedes to a row of tomatoes with a heart. May framed the picture with borders of patterned fabrics. She embellished the surface with decorative painting, buttons, beads and attached three rag streamers to the top corners.
