Finally, I have some free time!
I have been drinking obscene amounts of tea over the last 2 months while working on the second issue of Quilter's Connection Magazine. Tuesday, I went to Rhino Print Solutions in Richmond to meet the gang and have a tour of their huge warehouse. I had no idea that the printing machine alone was bigger than my house! Heather the editor and I checked the proofs and everything looked amazing! I am very excited about the Winter 2009/10 issue that will be out in December!
This week I finally had time to finish an order for 6 quilted teacup & saucer sets. These are for a very good customer of mine. I hope she likes them! No, you can neither put tea in them nor a teacup... they are really just a conversation piece but I have so much fun making them! And yes, they are on my list to make into a pattern booklet :o)
I had entirely too much fun taking photos of them! If you would like to see more photos, please visit my Flickr Gallery.
Hi Laurraine!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to know you have some time to 'come up for air' - just in time for the festive silly season!!
Your teacups and saucers are superb, as always, your choice of fabrics and trims is truly divine. Love it!!
The magazine looks very interesting - it must have been so much fun to actually see it being printed!
Warm wishes from Australia!
