Teapots 2 to Appliqué
Filed Under Back-basting (no-template), Books, Prizes
Greetings fellow appliqué enthusiasts! I have one of those birthdays that’s close to Christmas. When I was a kid it meant “combination” presents, which to someone of a tender age can be very thick. (I’ve gotten over that now.) (Pretty much.)
To help celebrate the day, I’m putting up a copy of one of my most popular books, Teapots 2 to Appliqué.
|
It’s in its fourth printing and still going strong. Quilters love teapots!
The book has designs for 16 different teapots, plus cups and saucers and milk and sugar, and instructions for back-basting hand appliqué. (Of course you can use whatever method you like.)
To enter the drawing, please leave a comment here on the blog by 7:00 p.m. California time on Sunday Saturday, December 21. Hey, one copy doesn’t seem enough. How about three winners! Open to U.S. and Canada mailing addresses only. Good luck in the draw!
Happy holidays,
Kay

I have your first teapot book. My mom collected teapots so of course I made her a small quilt with your designs. This was long before I found your blog. She passed away two years ago and the quilt has returned back to me. Ironically I collect teapots and cups now!
Definitely know what it is like to have a birthday close to Christmas, mine is on Christmas Eve! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I collect teapots so this would be the perfect thing to enhance my collection shelf! Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to win this book!
I too have a birthday close to Christmas. In fact it is the 21st which is coming up this Saturday! I love your teapots! I used to collect them and them my children were born and I collect toys, and shoes and hugs so the teapot collection went to the wayside. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the floral used in the teapot pictured. What is it about teapots that we all love? I remember a collection of them on my mother’s hutch, and I have some of the teapots now.
I’d enjoy appliqueing the patterns in your pretty book. Thanks!
I love your teapot patterns. Thanks for the great giveaway and have a happy birthday!
Oh Kay what an amazing and generous thing to do. I love your applique patterns and would love to have a copy of your book. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What a great prize you are offering. I love teapots and would love to win this prize.

Like everybody else, I love tea pots too. I have a few of your books and love them. I’d love to add this one to my collection. Happy Birthday. Gail in SC
My birthday is Nov 28 and hubby’s is Dec 16. We both lament the combined birthday presents as kids. I feel your pain. I’d love a copy of your Teapots book; it looks adorable! Rcoyle at olemiss dot edu
What an absolute treasure.
I have always loved your teapots! Such a charming book! Hope I’m one of your winners!
My MIL collected teapots, cups & saucers. I inherited her collection and they are displaying beautifully in my dining room.
Merry Christmas
That picture is beautiful. And the question was raised, what do we love about tea pots? I think like a favorite soup – they remind us of love, warmth and comfort.
My birthday is right after Christmas–everyone has holiday fatigue, so you have my condolences. The book looks charming; thanks for the chance.
Oh, teapots are so pretty!
These are so pretty! I have a fabric that would be perfect for a teapot block, too.
Happy birthday month!
I love teapots too! What could be more relaxing than hand applique and a cup of tea.
Hi Kay,
My birthday is January 8th, so I completely understand the whole gift thing.
I love tea, teapots and applique, so this giveaway is perfect!
Thank you so much for doing it, and a very Happy Birthday!
I love this teapot book. I’ve eyed it longingly ever since I first saw it. Thank you so much for your generous giveaway and the chance to win.
I have always felt a bit sad for those with Christmas birthdays. You may not get combo gifts but you only get gifts once a year! Applique is one of my favourite techniques to use in stitching. It is so much fun building a picture. Thank you for sharing this giveaway. Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday! My birthday is on the 20th and my childhood was filled with disappointment over the “I got you one large present so it would be for Christmas and your birthday” scam. My cousins are about the same age and got presents of similar value for Christmas, but they also got real birthday presents. Luckily, I dealt with the disappointment and didn’t turn into an ax murderer.
I do love tea and collect teapots. It would be lovely to receive a copy of your book. I would count it as a Christmas present too. Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Having lived in England for two years, tea and teapots have a special place in my heart. I would love to have this book. Thanks so much for all you do. Happy Holidays.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays! My mothers birthday was Dec 21st and we always made sure we had a party and kept it separate from the holidays. Love your books and would enjoy the teapot book. May you have a very Merry Christmas.
Happy Birthday to you! My MIL and daughter love teapots – what a lovely thought to do a giveaway and share ! thank you!
What fun..please count me in the drawing. My twins have December birthdays, and now my son-in-law and a future son-in-law all have December birthdays!
From a mid December birthday gal,Happy Birthday, Kay! Know just what you mean. The book is great. Thanks for the chance.
Happy Birthday Kay, I have a son born in early Dec. When he was little, we always waited to put the Christmas decorations out until after his birthday so that he didnt feel his birthday was lumped in with the holiday.
Happy Birthday! A friend of mine collects teapots. I’d love to have the book to make her something. I patterns from Just Cross Stitch but no applique. Thanks for the chance. Merry Christmas
Happy Birthday to you and thank you for the opportunity to win this book. Both my children’s birthdays are around Christmas, December 21st for my daughter and December 26th for my son. Merry Christmas!!
Happy Birthday Kay. Hope you party ’til the cows come home;)
Love that teapot, the fabric is beautiful.
I love the look of teapots! So elegant!
Happy Birthday Kay. Love your applique designs and would love to win this book. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a tea-lightful gift! I hope you have a wonderful birthday! It would be a treasure to make a teapot quilt. I love applique–but haven’t tried the back-basting technique…something to add onto my 2014 learn-to-do list!
It`s true – we do love our teapots!
Kay, your teapot appliqué book sounds very appealing. In the new year, my resolution is to get more appliqués done in my life. I would be honored to have this book of yours. I too always felt hyped because my bday is close to Christmas. Yep the gift never seemed bigger than the others around the tree.
Merry Christmas and a great 2014 year filled with health, love and creativity.
I, too, have a “close to Christmas” birthday on 12/29. I feel your pain. What a great contest. I love, love, love teapots, tea and quilting.
Thanks for doing this.
Have a joyous Holiday and a prosperous and safe New Year.
Many kindred spirits out there as I,also, love teapots and applique. I would love to win your book – thanks for the opportunity. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday, Kay! I’m feeling guilty because I just gave a combo gift to my son-in-law, whose birthday was December 10.
love teapots too…and would love the book :)
Happy Birthday! Please pick me! My daughter needs a teapot quilt!
Happy birthday! Teapot patterns are great; there are so many things you can do with them.
A teapot quilt would be so much fun! Please add me to the drawing.
Happy Birthday Kay! I don’t know if I made it in time to enter into the give-away but a girl can try! Thanks for the chance.
Just got your e-mail and I responded. Thank you sooooo much. Merry Christmas. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com.
