Good morning, dear one.
I don't know if you like tea or not - I am assuming you do. Why not make a tea cozy and matching coasters/mug rug? Here are a few links:

blessings to you.
That is so cute, tea fabric! Blondie's ideas sound perfect for your fabric. Enjoy, just let your creative mind take over. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I really like the second fabric and think that would make an awesome tote. The others are really nice too.
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love the tea themed fab, and the second one has endless possibilities. Sewing can be a great distraction and soothing to your soul. Sending positive energy your way.
I was thinking along the same lines as blondie when I saw all your tea fabric very cute!
Blondie's suggestions seem a perfect match for your fabric selections. Just being by your machine and in the midst of your fabric will be soothing - even if you don't sew a stitch!

How about aprons using the 2nd fabric as ties and trim? Or a table runner? The tea cozy and mug rugs sound nice too. Quick, easy and enough to keep your mind occupied.
1st thing that came to mind was tea cozies?
I also think this would make a stunning tote. The fabric in your second picture is beautiful!
I agree with tea cozies, aprons, and coffee cup mats................but would make awesome curtains for the kitchen of a friend that is tea crazy! Nice fabric.
Oh great idea, the sewing machine cover and what about a red binding, a tote too would be super nice! One step at a time to healing...huggies
Tea cozy AND a tote if you have enough fabric. I love all the fabric.
How about a teacup wall hanging? http://www.fvqg.org/09archiv/0409.htm

oh i like the apron idea as well!
Your material is so lovely that anything you make with it will be fabulous. Annika, take one day at a time and be gentle with yourself during this time. Grieving is a process and you are just begging the journey....my prayers are with you and your family. Hugs, Barb
Annika, I hope that you and your girls are managing through this hard time.
Some time back someone posted about tea wallets. They were little 'folders' with places for several teabags. Just a thought for using that wonderful fabric.
Funny that you should say that. It is what i was doing yeasterday. Sorry to say. i have a hard time whit the focus so it went horrible wrong. But it is a good ideea and i will have another go at it when i get my focus back. Have a good day!Quote:
