lots of sewing all rolled into one

Man, oh man, there has been lots of sewing going on around here...

A Saturday spent bringing to life Maisy's creations - Totro and Heartgirl. A little sewing and liberal amounts of fabric glue = one happy girl.

This is my very first wall quilt. It's a simple, deconstructed version of the Color Wheel quilt by the gal at the Purl bee. It's simple but I like it and it does the job it was created for... covering a stupid hole in the wall.

These last two were a little bit of an obsession. I saw this link on Whip up and then HAD to make the tea pots that night!! I was so proud of myself for successfully piecing these and that they turned out cute. Also I managed to figure out (with my own brain!) how to make a pattern that worked for the matching tea cup and saucer.

Now... what do I do with them??

Everything looks so cute! Love Maisy's creations. The wall quilt is great, and I love love the teapot and cup. I think you should make another wall quilt with them.

Love all the creations! I don't know what size the teapot and teacup blocks are, but they would make adorable potholders if they're the right size. Or maybe make a couple more and turn them all into a table runner? That would be sooo cute!
