Morning Glory indeed!!

At last I can releases the full patterns for my Morning Glory Tea & Coffee sets!! Yay!!

I loved making these a year ago, and it has seemed forever had passed by before I could officially offer this large set of designs to you.

This is a 6 piece set, but divided into a Coffee Setting and a Tea Setting - either one may suit your taste, but I am lover of both teas and coffees, so I had to cover both in my design process. :-)

~ Morning Glory 3 piece Tea Setting~

This set comprises a Tea Cosy featuring fussy pieced Morning Glory flowers, applique and embroidery. Techniques involving  curved cutting and bias use in the piecing are included with step-by-step photographs in the pattern...

...a Tea Cupboard which stores up to 8 different flavours of tea bags in individually stitched pockets...

...and the matching set of 4 mug coasters!

~Morning Glory 3 piece Coffee Setting~

This set comprises a 42 x 46 inch tablecloth, with each corner displaying a beaded centre Morning Glory appliqued flower...

...a French Press cover, with beaded Morning Glory flower centre...

 

...and a 13 inch square simply pieced and quilted Serving Mat, each corner displaying more appliqued and beaded flowers!

The set of 6 patterns is available HERE in my Etsy Shop for just $5!

Once payment is made I will email the full pattern set to you within 18 hours (but usually much sooner than that!).

OR, you can simply click on the Paypal button below for a straightforward transaction!

For those who already have the patterns for the Tea Cosy and Tea Cupboard (published in Homespun Magazines earlier this year) you can purchase just the 3 piece Morning Glory Coffee Setting for $3 by clicking on the Paypal button below.

It's FREEZING cold here today, so I am rugged up with scarves, woolies, slippers, thick socks, and fingerless gloves!!! It really can get cold in the tropics during winter. Who would have thought??

No riding for Mr E and I today. Just snuggling up with hot chicken soup, garlic bread, and each other. :-)

Perfect day for stitching and old movies I think. 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

From me to you - two freebies!

Thank you for all your love and hugs over the closing down of the Gum Tree Designers. Time heals all things, even dreams that don't come completely to fruition, and from today it is time for me to look forward and embrace the doors that open in the future. I will have time to play once more, and I intend for that play to be exciting for myself and for you!

Many Gum Tree followers were concerned that our BOM, "Things We Love" would not be finished, so most of us girls have decided to give you our remaining blocks to download and stitch up. You already received my first block in February and today I am sharing with you my 2nd block for "Things We Love"...

~ a bowl of blooms~

 

 

Fee and I are the only Gum Tree girls who were stitching all the blocks for the quilt so keep checking on us over time to see how our quilts finish up. I'm so pleased that I will have this reminder of the group. :-)

You can download ~a bowl of blooms~ HERE, and if you missed my first block, ~a happy home~, you can download it HERE.

Dawn is sharing her blocks right now, so hop over and download her cuties. Vicki will have hers up later in the week too, and keep checking on Fee because I know she intends sharing her second block as well.

Remember that I had my Morning Glory Tea Cosy published in Australian Homespun magazine last month? Well, this month's issue is at the newstand and it features my matching Morning Glory Tea Cupboard!

 

 

(By the way, that gorgeous quilt on the cover is Lisa's design so this is definitely a wonderful issue!)

I promised you that once this second part of my set was published I'd have a freebie for you to complete the set, so today I have the pattern for my matching set of coasters that you can download!

Morning Glory Coaster Set is a free download HERE.

Once I started on the Morning Glory set a year ago (there is a looooong time between the design being finished and having it appear in print) I got carried away because I loved the design so much. Another three items were made but this time for use as a coffee set - a tablecloth, French Press cover, and a small table mat. I used different fabrics and added some beading....

 

 

 

They have all been hidden away for most of this last year, but now they are in the light of day again and able to be used. I am quite excited about that!! :-)

Well, I have a family to feed and some plants to repot so I'll see if my other skills allow us a good meal and some lush blooms. Fingers crossed! :-)

Hugs
