Artist Statement

I love china tea cups and loved the tea cup fabric. For some reason, tea seems to taste better from a china cup. A lot of problems can be solved talking with a good friend over a nice cup of tea. The appliqué tea pots were added to the border, as you cannot have a good cup of tea without a good tea pot.

Artist Statement

This quilt was made for our daughter Shelley & her husband Saadiq on the occasion of their marriage.

The colors represent the sea and the sky and the stars aligning for them to meet and fall in love.

I adapted the original pattern with an additional paper pieced border and prairie point sashing.

Artist Statement

The Christmas trees on this panel looked modern and "city like" to me .

They seemed like the perfect Christmas themed lap quilt gift for our "City Kid" Shelley and her husband Saadiq who live in Edmonton.
