This little project has been on my 'to do' list for a while, & is a (now overdue) birthday gift for a friend.
It is supposed to be a SMALL dilly bag for her to keep her teacup in when she goes out quilting for the day. It is somewhat larger than I expected however, so she'll quite possibly be able to fit the kettle in it too!
The pattern is called 'Time for a Cuppa' by Sue Brennan of Weigela Design. I have posted about her beautiful shop before. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a website. I did alter the stitchery design a little to incorporate Catherine Baynes' tea cup!
A very happy birthday to Gail! Sorry it's late my friend, but I know you will understand - you're used to it!!

I love it all - the stitchery, fabrics, colours & the Dilly bags use! I am also in the 'better late than never' category of present giving :)

This is so cute. I love small bags like this. And it is so fun to decorate them with small stitcheries.

I am glad that life is a little more relaxed for you too. Budgets and calculations can be so boring and uninspiring, but yes necessary.
I love the tea cup bag. I am laughing to myself because I too have a similar pattern and fabric, to make as a mother's day present, and it is about 6 years overdue. I occassionally find it in my stash and put it back for next mothers day, maybe I should just make it up! Lenora XX.
The bag is beautiful.
Wow - simply WOW!
How convenient to be able to have the kettle in there too!!! It is beautiful.
what a fantastic idea! your friend would have definitely LOVED it.
