Blogspiration!

Don't you just love it when you look at a blog and become totally inspired? And I love to give myself a challenge so when I saw Saskia's new blog template last week, I knew just what I had to do.

This is her template. It is from Fondos Sholy. Well, the right hand side caught my attention and I decided I had to challenge myself to recreate this little wallhanging as one does. Please tell me you do and I do not have some unusual form of the quilt virus that noone else has? *wink*

So I found a piece of background fabric which was a scrap just the right size. Then I pulled out various pinks to create the charm teapot. A couple of tiny scraps of wool felt in beige for the handle and spout, an old button from a button jar and I was on my way...

The word teapot all higgelty piggelty is embroidered under the patchwork and a piece of pretty old lace given to me by Joke...

I signed the quilt on the back...

And borrowed a wire hanger that came with a Christmas hanger I stitched years ago...

The wallhanging is 7 1/2 inches x 12 inches.

I was sad to have to cancel a play date with Saskia yesterday as I had a very bad fibromyalgia attack. I was so sick in the morning that I could not sit up but happily in the afternoon I had started to improve. I sat quietly with needle and thread finishing this off. What contentment it gives me to have my quilting and stitching! Time now to set up a new play date with Saskia...grins...
