it used to be my sewing space...i had a sewing school for a couple years, taught kids to sew, adults too, and quilted lots...closed up shop 3 years ago...the building i was in was spacious and i miss the space but the building was in terrible shape and after the 2nd flood i had had enough...
now i took over 2 bedrooms in our new house, one is a disaster, with sewing machine, cutting table, ironing board, book shelves, fabric shelves and this computer, the other room is the long-arm machine...it is all that fits, diagonally, when the granddaughter's come to visit they build a fort under the long-arm to sleep in because i put their bed's in the garage when i decided not to keep the room for them when they are only here 3-5 days a year :lol: they really were not amused at first, but now, they love being able to make the fort to sleep in. :wink:

Oh that is just darling. I'm wondering too if it's applique or a neat panel. I don't exactly "collect" tea pots, just have a lot of them that have come my way. :wink:

Very cute! Teapots or teacups are a great choice for quilting--I see so many fabrics that would look great! You did a beautiful job!

Very pretty! I love teapots too :D

the teapots are all appliqued, not a panal, found a book, loaned it out, never to return, but it had 16 teapots in it to applique, then i used my sewing machine to embroider the center, it says tea time and the date and the bottom corner (left i think) is another embroidered block with her name, the occassion (i think it was a birthday) my name and all that 'stuff'
she had told me (because i've been buying her a teapot for her birthday for ---ever---"no more teapots!!! i do not have anymore shelves for more."
me, being the defiant one in the family could not resist giving her 16 more teapots :mrgreen:
