Teacups, No Saucers...


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!
