Say it with Flowers

It is finally my lucky day!  What a beautiful hop this has been.  Thanks to all the participants for sharing their creativity.  Imagine, such inspiration with just a click.  Thanks also to our humble leader Madame Samm at Sew We Quilt and Carol at Just Let Me Quilt or her topnotch cheering.

This tea cozy pattern was in a magazine last fall done up in a cute Christmas fabric.  It's not just a cozy but an organizer as well.  One pocket is a bit bigger than the other but sized right to hold the two mug rugs.  These flowers aren't traditional but they do add the pizzazz needed on my counter.





The tea cozy went so fast leaving plenty of time to play before the post date.  This little coin purse (pattern here) stitched together lickety split and only takes scraps.


Continued digging in my small scraps turned up enough to make a needle case.  Just another quick project. Ok, ok.  I'll give the needle case to one of you.  If you are not a follower, become one.  Then leave me a comment with the name of your favorite flower.  Drawing will be made  June 9th.





The last project is a "touch up."  I made the headband a few months back and retrieved some of those scraps to add the flower and old button.  Now I'm styling.


Thanks for stopping by and keep clicking for a day of fun and inspiration.

    I love all your great projects, but that headband is as cute as a button. And of course I follow you, do I have to pick just one flower?

    All your projects are too cute and I love purple coneflowers, wisteria and dogwoods. Flowers are like potato chips - one is just not enough.
