I came across this entry on longarm quilter Nancy Gambrel’s blog, where she shows off her customers’ quilts and the beautiful quilting she’s done on them.
Lo and behold, there’s an absolutely beautiful teapot quilt made by Pat Besenhofer, and I recognize it as being from my Teapots 2 to Appliqué. What an internet find! [...]

When I set up my booth for the Monterey show, I noticed that there was a little space beneath A Spot of Tea that could fit a single-row banner type of quilt.

It was through their BOM with the original Teapots book that I got to know the shop’s owners, Kit and Julie. They contacted me with an emergency book order, and told [...]

The next quilt I’m showing you from Teapots 2 to Appliqué is very cool. Verona Flint hand-appliquéd a beautiful batik teapot with a shimmery gold handle and spout on plain white fabric, and handed it back to me. When I looked at it I immediately started brainstorming on a setting to show it off. Something [...]

The last quilt I showed you from Teapots 2 to Appliqué was by Shannon (see the March 4 post). Now here’s one from her mom, Janet.
Janet and Shannon are mother-and-daughter quilters from Hollister, California.
I put these two quilts together on a page in Teapots 2 because I just loved how each piece reflected the [...]
