So yesterday I was cutting up my Meadowsweet fabrics by Sandi Henderson for my Etsy shop and I couldn't resist making something with one of the charm packs I made. I've had teacups on the brain for a while for some odd reason. Well, it could be because I sort of went crazy when I saw this painting on Etsy here. I just love that print as well as the one of the teapots. So, I thought I'd try a little bit of applique for a change and use her print as inspiration. The cups are just what I managed to draw up. Please don't look too closely because I cannot draw for the life of me. I'm just hoping that once they are properly stitched and then quilted it won't matter that they aren't exactly symmetrical, etc...
I started up my machine to satin stitch these guys down and voila my machine got jammed up and now won't stitch anything but a straight stitch. Wahhh! And I spent about two hours last night before bed trying to see if I could fix it. Good thing my good friend called me up and asked me yesterday if I'm planning to come to Canberra soon. Yes, I told her, I really want to visit her and now I can go get my machine serviced as well. And I am hoping to combine it with a trip to Spotlight to see if the new Denyse Schmidt fabrics are in yet. Sounds like it could be any day now...

Very cute! I especially like the turquise & red one with strawberries. Good luck with your machine, I hope it is nothing major!
They are adorable!
