Back last winter, I found this lovely coffee sampler at Tempting Tangles. Deb, the designer, does a lot of SALs (stitch-a-longs). This particular one was originally released in a 16 part series back in 2011.

After getting through the challenges of figuring out how I was going to manage the fact that the fabric I really liked and had wasn’t big enough for decent margins (stitch on what you have and add binding later) and closing colors to shift over to Sulky from the original Dinky Dyes or DMC I was ready to go.

Pages 1 & 2 were fine,

Pages 1 & 2

but then I hit page three…. and there it was – Chai Latte …

Page three – with blank space

So I worked around it and shot off an email to the designer.

Latte refers to the milk, not the coffee. A Chai Latte that includes coffee is an Espresso Chai Latte.  This leaves me with a challenge: I can’t see my way to include a tea in the coffee sampler. The list is alphabetical… and there is no where enough room to add Chai Espresso.

So, we shall see, and have to think…
