Last year I was asked to contribute a couple of projects to the new Mollie Makes Patchwork book...
I was thrilled to be asked to contribute and, once I jumped into the project, I thoroughly loved the process of creating and writing!
One of my projects is a Dresden Tea Cozy.
This weekend I couldn't wait to work with some of the new fabrics that arrived...so I decided to switch up the tea cozy a bit and make it a Hexie Tea Cozy!
Fussy cutting Ayumi's new line of fabric for Kokka was so much fun!
Oh, how I LOVE this fabric! It's called Lighthearted and it makes me lightheaded when I work with it...in a good way, of course! hehe! Can you tell I am kind of smitten with it?
I chose a Yuwa Honeycomb dot for the background....the fabrics work so nicely together...
Following the same instructions for the Dresden Cozy....I quicky stitched up a Hexie Cozy! How perfect would this be for a house warming gift or a bridal shower gift? Or maybe for a bloggy friend?
Speaking of bloggy friends...
I received a lovely red and aqua felted heart swag from someone very near and dear to me....
Thank you so much, Susan! I 'heart' you!!! I can't imagine being able to felt those shapes so perfectly! Crazy talented that girl!
Hope you had a very special Valentine's Day!

A lovely tea cozy. I'm a tea drinker but have never made one. Do they really help keep the tea warm?

ReplyDeleteAyumi's fabric is very cute. I can see how it told you to fussy cut hexies out of it!
What a wonderful tea cozy! I hope it keeps your teapot cozy, while the tea keeps you cozy! I 'heart' you too, sweet Mary!
