TEA, ANYONE? -- PART DEUX

Here's my story

I found myself tossing and turning after going to bed last night -- 

unable to get to sleep...

so, I tip toed out of bed and came into our back room and pulled

                                      my teapot out and stared at it for a bit...

It was very still 

and so quiet 

that late at night...

so hushed..
                    you could almost feel it...
So...
I pulled out my needle and thread and did a 2nd row around the teapot;
 and then
decided it needed a ring to set it off--
and I made it puffy ;))) 
oh, I like that;)))

then ............
I did an easy border
around the edges...just to frame it some more...

All I could hear was:
just that tick tick sound of my needle going in and out...
[you know, right?]
one little stitch at a time...

slowed me right down...that jumpy
feeling just melted away....into the night....

TEA ANYONE?

                                  The layered Teapot          ("Tea Anyone?")
                                                           is now ready for some quilting...........
I took a few stitches last night when I couldn't sleep↡↡↡
Can you see them?

I plan to outline the pot to start, and then do some kind of filler stitching; I am using
regular quilting thread on this one in a beige--the background fabric is one that I
coffee dyed a few years back when that craze "squirreled" me...;))))
                          [There's a new word to add to the quilting lexicon lol]

I will be working on this one this afternoon while watching the Patriots game....
Go Patriots............p l e a s e...;0000

******************************
Here is a picture of a scrappy quilt I saw on Youtube that may be how I put my
red/pink scraps
together...

You can see that four 4" blocks are sewn together and then finished with that beautiful
sashing and cornerstones...

...I am thinking mine will be a much
smaller project--this one is some 60x60--total madness ;0000.--
perhaps a dolly sized
little quilt or even a pillow???...

I am really trying to make my projects smaller--but after making bed size or lap size
quilts all these years,
I am finding it difficult to do this...I just think in those sizes.....

I need to make some dolly size quilts to get into the swing of things..perhaps....
this one should become the first....

I hope your Sunday is a peaceful one in these stressful days leading up to
the Holidays...
