It's snowing outside, cold and wet so what better time to go internet browsing! I decided to see what I could find in a team I belong to called Boomers and Beyond Etsy Street Team or BBEST for short!
Since we are experiencing above average snow fall for UK I thought I would turn my thoughts to finding quilted items whether they are useful or just really attractive and pretty.
Circles 'n Squares Small Textile Art
Liz Plummer, who hails from the UK, describes this quilt as a small quilted wallhanging which is a colourful, playful one which would look great in a child's room or to brighten up a gloomy room. Particularly if you like sweets/candy!
Another form using quilting is from Libertybelle's shop
Flower Fairy Fabric Postcard
This pretty fabric postcard is made with flower fairy fabric and has been embellished with cute little pink heart buttons. It is finished with lace and hand embroidery.
I don't know about the title of this one except winter flurries might be more appropriate!
Art Quilt Autumn Flurries
by Artmixter who explains that this hand dyed cloth is raw edge applique'd onto a rich blue velvet base, sprinkled with sequin leaves that spiral in the painted and stitched spiral of the wind, with a golden flower in the centre.
No amount of chat etc would allow this team to focus away from one important influence.......
.... that of chocolate!!
Karen Quilted and Beaded Bag in Chocolate and Blue
Chocolate brown and blue 100 percent cotton fabrics, long brown and pink beading, and silver metal accents make the Karen bag one you will grab often thanks to Kimbuktu
Since you now have the chocolate, how about a nice warm cup of tea? The tea would have been kept warm by placing the teapot in this cute tea cozy by Nonnie60.
Quilted Mini Tea Cozy - Country/Folk Art Design
This mini-tea cozy was designed and sewn by Nonnie using a quilted cotton fabric in a country or folk art design. It was designed specifically for the nesting 2C pot and cup, which when assembled stand approximately 6" high. It also accommodates any 1C mini-pot. as shown in the main photo. It can also rest on top of a large mug to keep coffee or tea from cooling off too quickly.
Tempted yet? Why not browse some more? You will be amazed at the talent in this group!!!
