My summer tea cosy

I am crazy about tea cosies so that is what I decided to make with the lovely Mirror Ball Dot fabrics that I won in a giveaway.(here) This fabric was really nice to work with.  The machine quilting that I did in freemotion on the white part, just sparkles with opalescence.  The two photos below are just one cosy..green teapot on one side and pink on the other. 

A perfect summer tea cosy.  My new favourite tea is The Countess of Seville from David's Teas. I love to have a cup after work.  It's a citrusy, organic green tea.  So nice.  

My first postcard!

Well, this is the first postcard that I have made, that I am pleased enough with to send.   Although, if I ever do lettering with my machine again, I would not use variegated thread.  Learned something new.  I also have to fine tune the edging more so that it looks a bit neater.

 I won't say who will receive it...that will be a surprise.  It is all addressed (somewhere in Canada)  and just waiting for a stamp.

I hope that whoever receives my first postcard will show it on their blog  so we can all see where it ends up.

PS: The little fabric scraps I used to make the postcard are from the mystery quilt I am making 
called "Darlene's Mystery Quilt" .  I am currently working on Round 5. More on that at another time.
