NUTS ABOUT
It was so hard to choose a topic to be nutty about because there are so many areas which would fill the bill.
I decided to be nutty about tea things.
Found these cute paper-pieced Mug O'Love mug rug patterns at SewHooked.com. And sewing fabric goes perfectly with tea.
A teapot fabric hiding in the stash stitched into a cheerful slightly funky table runner.
The January block, A Touch of Fun, from Victoriana Quilt Designs 2016 quilt was called Hot Chocolate. Could not resist so I was nutty enough to begin another BOM.
A frosty morning, A warm pot of tea,
A bit of stitching, Oh cozy me.
There are treasures on the pages of old magazines. I raided my collection of old handkerchiefs to create this cushion. Found the pattern in Creating Country Threads (Vol 10 No 10)
A teacup panel that I thought was too pretty to cut became a sweet centerpiece. Am I the only one who has a hard job cutting fabric until the perfect project comes along?
And who cannot be nuts about the sweet pattern of Hugging & Kissing Penguins offered as a gift by Marian of SeamsTo Be Sew on February 4. I still need to applique the edges.

ReplyDeleteI'm not a tea drinker (coffee for me), but your fancy teacup at the top of your post took me back. My mom used to collect those. I'd love to have one to remember her by, but my sister sold them all at a yard sale long ago.

ReplyDeleteI'VE ALWAYS BEEN A COFFEE KIND OF GIRL, BUT AS OF LATELY...IT'S TEA FOR ME TOO! LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR TEA DELIGHTS. HAVE YOU HEARD OF SWEET & SPICY TEA FROM GOOD EARTH? IF YOU LIKE CINNAMON AND SPICE, THIS IS THE BOMB!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you found fabric to match your teatpot. Too cool. My favorite is the one with the stacked cups though.
ReplyDeleteTea is a favorite subject. I've designed several teapot appliques.
ReplyDeleteCan't blame you for choosing tea things to be nutty about. Tea time seems so civilized and so relaxing too. Your penguins are cute too!

ReplyDeletetea time creations are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love tea ... sipping a cup right now! Loove loooove your table center piece. I need to get brave and do an appliqué tea cup/pot one day.
ReplyDeleteI have a stash of my mom's old hankies that I treasure. I have used 2 of them in a table runner that came out so pretty! I also have a difficult time cutting into a favorite piece of fabric...always afraid I'll mess it up or it'll become a UFO.
ReplyDeleteI'm more nutty about my coffee though I do enjoy a good cup of tea on occasion. Great projects; I love the topper you made with the teacup panel - so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYour tea-themed projects all look so nice! I like to see ways that people use old hankies. I have a few to use one day. The pictures in your previous post are gorgeous! I love red and white quilts and the snow is such a perfect background.
ReplyDeleteI am a green tea lover and any fabric with tea items on it--love what you made with all those tea themes--need to put my thinking cap on and do something with mine-
ReplyDeletelove and laughter, di
Lovely projects, I like teacups.
ReplyDeleteCute tabletopper. The only tea I like is unsweet iced tea. No hot tea for me.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm not a tea drinker unless it's summer and then I love it mixed with lemonade or just plain with some lemon squirted in it.
ReplyDeleteI have that same tea cup fabric you used for the centerpiece, and I, too, have been saving it for something special, for the "just right" project. I think it means more when the fabric matches the idea you have for it, when it all comes together; sometimes that takes time, but quilting isn't about "right away", at least not for me.
ReplyDeleteA tea party. Better yet. May I join you for high tea. I'll bring the biscuits.
ReplyDeleteI like your tea projects! And the tea cup centerpiece is lovely.
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooooooh yes I also have a hard time cutting fabric until the perfect project comes along, you're surtenly not alone
ReplyDeleteI love all your projects (especially the table runner) but that tea cup is beautiful! Reminds me of the ones my grandmother had :)
ReplyDeleteLove tea - love your bog! My favorite is the table centrepiece - looks perfect with that teapot!
ReplyDeleteThe teacup reminds me of one my grandmother had. I have a lot of vintage handkerchiefs--never thought to use them the way you did! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your projects!! So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tea time projects and love those loving penguins!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and inspiring projects!
ReplyDeleteI love all your tea blocks and table runner!
ReplyDeleteI love all things tea, too! Thank you for sharing your projects.
ReplyDeleteFeel the same way about coffee. Your teacups are so sweet.
