Good, just managing to get a post in before Christmas!
Whilst taking things slowly I've finished the applique on
four more KF teapots
only three more to go, hopefully before the New Year is upon us!
Have you see the newest book from Kaffe Fassett - 'Quilts in Ireland'?
I fell in love with Green Diamonds and decided to send off for the fabrics,
they arrived a few days ago and I'm so pleased with the
combination, this will be a project for 2018.
The weather here has been so very hot and humid, everyone heads for the beach
or stays home with every window open to bring some relief. The
other option is a very shady spot in the garden, luckily we have the large
Japanese Maple and nearby is one of my blue
hydrangeas, this year it has a mauve tinge on some of the flower heads.
This weather is great for the vegetable garden
and the courgettes are flowering nicely, tomatoes are coming along
and I've planted basil seedlings alongside.
Before I finish up
I'd like to say a big thank you for all your good wishes following my last post,
my spirits were definitely lifted after reading comments
and emails.
I'm hoping the New Year will see much more quilting from me!!
Wishing you all a
Happy Christmas
and a
Happy and Healthy New Year 2018
See you soon.
Maureen

The fabrics, a gift all by themselves, so beautiful. I wish you both a joyous time over the Christmas Season, health and happiness for 2018. Fondest wishes.
Those teapots are looking great! A very merry Xmas to you & yours... and looking forward to seeing lots more Kaffe colour from you in the New Year!
Great teapots to show off your fabric collection, too. So glad you are planning and buying for future projects to work on next year. Wishes and hugs for a Merry christmas and a very bright new year.
Oh how much fun it would be to spend time with your stash and scraps!! And the colors in your so-lush garden are glorious compared to our soggy dreary browns and grays. Wishing you health and lots of stitching in the coming year -- Merry Christmas and loads of hugs to you!
So glad you are back to sewing. It is one of the best therapies. Your fabric selection and the hydrangea photo look like they were made to go together.
Happy Christmas to you, Maureen! Your teapots are lovely and so close to being a flimsy. I can't wait to see them all together in a giant tea party :)
Your teapots sure are looking fabulous! But the bundle of Kaffe fabrics.......YUMO!
Happy cherry merry and safe holiday period to you.
Love everything about this post. Have fun with all that new fabric, I adored that book too. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2018.
Thanks for sharing your teapots, flowers and fabrics, so gorgeous.
I'm glad you're feeling better.
Happy Christmas and New Year to you and your family!
Lovely teapot blocks - those spotty backgrounds are great, really show off the floral teapots. Your garden looks super. Happy Christmas 🎄
Love your teapots. Your choice of colour and combinations gave such a great result.
Thank you for inviting me for a cup of tea! And living on the colder side of earth, I also enjoyed a walk in your garden. Wishing you all the best!
I am in love with those teapots! Can't wait to see the whole quilt.
Your garden is looking superb! You must put a lot of effort in there.
Have a great Christmas!
Oooh, you are reminding me again (hee, hee about my friend applying the Bondaweb to the wrong side of her teapots) I am really looking forward to seeing your quilt finished. I know it will be spectacular.
Happy Christmas and may you have a healthy 2018.
Lots of stitching too!
