Time for Tea Swap Sent............

Stephanie at Loft Creations organised a swap "Time for Tea" this is what I sent my swap partner Bonnie of Calamity Janes Cottage.............close up..........

The tea cup stack is printed..........I am not that good (to applique it all ).........but I just loved this fabric and still have some left over so will make something up for myself............the fabric was my inspiration and then I made up the rest of the design..........you can see the rest of the parcel I sent here.............

(curly pops and blossom)

found this rose in the garden when taking the pics.........seemed to fit the theme..........it is called "Raspberry Ice"

My parcel is still floating around somewhere..........

Thanks Stephanie for organising the swap..........

.........take care til next time.............

It is gorgeous Donna - If you hadn't of saif I would have thought that you had painstakingly appliqued it - The effect is gorgeous and it is lovely. Thanks for the link to Bonnies - I have just purchased fabric - LOL

That quilt is lovely and inspires me to go to my teacup and coffee etc colletion box.
I have far too many collections and not enough ideas to use them but am actually making a music theme quick and am squaring off stack and slash blocks.
Keep up the lovely photography..have decided on a Sony, not sure which one, as it means all my Minolta SLR lens fit.
I think I recall asking you about slr digital a while back.
I need to organize a computer change over next week and then will think about cameras again. The garden has not been condusive to photography over the summer.
