Several weeks before Christmas, I picked up the new (February 2010) issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine solely because it included a pattern for a beautiful -- and beautifully named -- Sweet Tea Quilt. When my husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I happily sent him a link to this quilt kit at fatquartershop.com. Can you guess what my first needlework project of the new year is going to be?
I've never really desired a quilt kit before, preferring to choose my own fabrics or take a "scrap bag" approach to making blocks and motifs, but this one I loved. The pattern centers around blocks of individual teacups, and I think the pink fabrics they selected are just lovely!
The fabrics are by Holly Holderman for Lakehouse Dry Goods and are part of the Teatime Floral Two collection. I plan to start this on New Year's Day, and you can bet I'll be posting about it along the way!
What a gorgeous quilt kit. I love the teacups and the pink and white color scheme. Can't wait to see pics of your work.
ReplyDeleteYour new header is very pretty with the collage of photos from your blog.
Thanks for the heads up about the changes. I do catch your blog in a reader and have subscribed to the new location - wouldn't have wanted to miss it! Your new "house" looks very pretty, by the way.
