Quilt Patterns with Teatime Theme
|
I make quilts from my scrap
basket; However I have a deep admiration
for those who devote themselves to the quilting art; who piece together, sometimes appliqué
heirloom treasures to be saved, shared and enjoyed.
As an encouragement for you who love both tea and quilting I've gathered a few Teatime Quilting
Patterns with different levels of ability. Beginners won't be overwhelmed
and you who are skilled won't be bored by simplicity.
If you have questions you can email me Grandma@GrandmaRae.com or
if you'd like to chat call the office at 973-664-0986.
Thank you.

As your confidence grows decorate with lace, doilies, tiny buttons. Make a Tea Gift Trivet with
a little pocket for a tea bag.

EASY Pattern for a beginner $6.75
I chose this pattern
because it says "Easy" in the upper right hand corner. And
then there's the smiling face of encouragement; "Oh yes you
can!"
The block is simple enough for you to
make trivets, a wall hanging or a quilt.
Use scraps. Begin with a trivet. Once you feel ready...
go, go, GO!
Plastic Template included

Pattern for the "Next Step"
- $9.95
This
pattern introduces you to fussy cutting which requires a bit of patience
and a lot of quiet music and tea. Unlike the next pattern, the edge
surround is simple, making this pattern the logical next step.
The teapots introduce you to careful piecing and if you wish appliqué to make a lovely wall hanging.
(Think a simple tiny hand baste stitch to secure the teapots in place.
No stress.)
If you would like,
the individual tea cup and/or pot patterns can be used to make trivets or
a decoration for that tote you've always wanted to make.
Quilt hanging is 33 1/2" by 38". Supply list is generous. You
can choose to add lace or doilies to personalize your creation or keep
going and turn this into a full sized quilt for your bed.
|
Excellent
supply list. Teapots are charming and could easily be developed into trivets, table
runners or an even larger quilt. |
Pattern for when you have a bit more experienced
- $9.95
This
pattern requires the skills of fussy cutting, careful piecing and lots of appliqué
and/or embroidering to make a lovely wall hanging.
If you are developing
appliqué and embroidery skills this might be the
next step for you. Piecing triangle points takes patience and practice. If
you get frustrated, design your own
simple boarder.
Quilt size is 34" by 34". Change
the colors, expresses your creativity.
|
NOTE:
Careful
piecing, appliqué and embroidery skills are needed.

Not Coffee: Looks like a
TEAPOT to me Pattern - $9.95
As you can see, this
pattern is part of a series that makes a larger wall hanging.
Coffee? Not to me!
Pattern makes an 11" by 10 1/2" block. I purchased this
because I thought it would make a lovely tote or wall hanging.
Pattern was supposed to arrive with fabrics shown BUT the fabric kits
were backordered. Groan! However, YOU are creative! Design your own
color scheme. Tweak the drawing. I like to think of patterns as
guidance, as suggestions. Have fun and play with this lovely pattern.

The intricacy and beauty of the next two patterns along
with their promise of being both amazing and a treasured heirloom when finished is why
they are costly. Be kind to yourself: Please do
not purchase either unless you have ability, patience, time and/or help from a Quilting
Group or friend.

whimsical watercolor treasure shown. The Quilt Painting is 38" by
