Liberty Teapots
Filed Under Hand appliqué, Quilt shows, Show & Tell | 3 Comments
I recently received an order for my book Teapots 2 to Appliqué from a quilter living in New Zealand. She told me she had see a quilt made from the designs in a show in Orewa.
I was intrigued!! I asked her for a little more information, and she sent me a photo of the gorgeous quilt. It’s made with all Liberty fabrics!!
The Hibiscus Coast Quilters of Whangaparaoa, New Zealand, put me in touch with the maker, Julie Davis. Julie shared the following about her project.
“I would be very happy for you to use my quilt on your blog. It is such a lovely pattern and I thoroughly enjoyed hand appliquéing the teapots. The Liberty fabrics I purchased from a Liberty club at my regular quilting shop. There were six different Liberty fabrics in a pack for six months. I couldn’t wait out the six months so I purchased them altogether. I am going to use this as a tablecloth when I have a High Tea for my quilting friends.”
Those are some lucky friends! Thank you Julie, for allowing me to share, and I’m so glad you had a good time with the designs. And thank you Tish for letting me know about the beautiful quilt. Will look forward to seeing your teapot creations as well!
Cheers,
Kay

New patterns!
Filed Under Patterns | 6 Comments
As part of my 2013 New Year’s Day post, I mentioned that I’m starting up my own line of stand-alone patterns. I showed the first couple of new ones.
Well, I’ve been a very busy girl and now I have twelve! Here are the rest of them.
These are all available at kaymackenzie.com, on the . Some I appliquéd by hand, some by machine, but of course you can use your own favorite method. I’m pretty excited about the whole thing. It feels great to be doing something new!
Thanks for taking a look at my Show & Tell,
Kay

It’s a happy day for hearts
Filed Under Books, Embellishment, Freezer paper on top, Hand appliqué, Holiday, Needleturn | Comments Off on It’s a happy day for hearts
Happy Valentine’s Day! The chocolate has been bestowed, and now I’m anticipating the bouquet. This has been a tradition throughout our 18 years of marriage, chocolate for him, flowers for her, and he hasn’t missed one yet. So although there aren’t any flowers yet, the day is young :).
Here’s another of my favorite blocks from Growing Heart to Appliqué.
I call it “Fly Away.”
Freezer paper on top, hand appliquéd, hand-embroidered stems.
Until next time,
