Time for Tea

Several years ago I made a table runner to go on my china hutch when I display my Grandmama's china.  I love the pink and grey together. I think I made it in 2016.  I've long wanted to make a wallhanging to go with it as I have a quilt hanger adjacent to the china hutch. This was the year to do it!  The teapot is a Lori Holt pattern and the teacups are from a free mini quilt from Kate Spain. (note: I really need to make that mini quilt!  It is so cute!)

I couldn't decide if I wanted the teacups on top or bottom.  I also changed out the steam to the light grey you see here.  

This steam looked like smoke!

And here is a poor picture of it on the wall.  The grey isn't really this dark but I was unable to get a good photo.  I quilted it with a diamond grid and I'm pleased with it. 

 

My gorgeous bag!

This is the bag that my swap partner, Barb, sent me.  Isn't the embroidery just perfect?  Coincidentally, we used the same fabric line-Flurry!

Santa Sack 2 for Barb!

Here are some pics of the bag I made for my Santa Sack partner, Barb. The pattern is from the Fall issue of Quilts and More. I used Flurry by Kate Spain. I love that line and I hope Barb likes it. This project was a good excuse to purchase this fabric! It is a roomy tote and has a tie on the inside that you can't see in this picture.

ETA: I just saw Barb's post on the Santa Sack 2 blog. We both used Flurry! Guess Carol knew what she was doing when she matched us!!!!
