Works4me - fantastic job on the maple leaf! I didn't dare say anything about the pencil until now, I was too nervous for you, but you've well and truly got rid of it. Big sigh of relief!
QuiltE - those are great tea cosies that you have found.
Dublb - can't wait to see you first tea cosy!
The best selection of tea cosies I have ever seen is on Ebay in this country. There are some very creative ladies selling their wares there. Today I have typed in tea cosies (spelt the English way) in the search box and come up with 3407 results. No shortage of inspiration there then. Also, there is this quilt at post 47 on another thread, which I can't believe isn't a tea cosy!

I can only cheer ... as I've done very very very little applique, machine or hand!

Works4me - if you want to do applique I will be posting pictures in the next few days. I don't know what my method is called but it works a treat. No fiddling about with little pieces, no freezer paper, no spray starch, no turning under tiny little hems, no agony with curves and corners, no fraying (have I sold it to you yet?) and if you don't want to do blanket stitch you could zigzag over the raw edges.
