Will Obama Popularize Tea Drinking for Quilters?

We’ve often discussed tea drinking and tea parties here at Quilting and Patchwork. Often quilters like a cup of tea while working or gathering with others. Tea and tea parties was popular in my family when we visited one another. My grandmother, with whom I made my first quilt, always had a cup of tea at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
The word’s out that Obama drinks tea, particularly organic berry tea, rather than coffee. So, the possibility that tea becomes an even more popular beverage looms before us. What about tea parties? More of these, too?
