I am so happy I have been doing the Zakka Along 2.0. Otherwise I am not sure I would have gotten around to making this tea cozy from Patchwork Please by Ayumi Takahashi. I love tea but the only tea pot I have is my Wedgewood one which was a wedding present. I make tea with my tea kettle. I have always wanted to start a tea pot collection. Maybe I will start one sooner now that I have this cozy.
I had so much fun making this. I love foundation paper piecing though I am very very new to it. And I loved selecting fabric. You can't really see it in the picture (and I was not successful getting a closer one) but the bar in the A says "Ouch I am a very hot pot". I was going to free motion quilt it because I thought it would be a lot quicker but I just love the one in the book so much I wanted mine to look like it. Instead of cherries, I crocheted a flower to match the teapot binding fabric I used. I used Eva's Sweet Crochet Flower tutorial and I just winged it with the leaves. It has been a while since I did any crochet. Just doing this tiny bit has left me wanting to do more.

Oh how charming is your tea cozy! Love the yellow pot, and the "ouch" message on the A bar is so hilarious and fun! All the details are so sweet!
Very cute and I love your crocheted flower!
Ooh, how sweet is your tea cozy, really lovely.
Glad to see your blog break has been short :-))
I seem to be the one on a blog break, but not really, just no time for blogging or crafting at the moment.
Your crochet flower looks lovely ! Did the pattern and tutorial work ok for you ?? Was it clear ?
Thanks for sharing this !!

I love the teapot and all the fun fabrics! They look so cute together along with your beautiful quilting. The red flower on top is a lovely touch :)
I love the flower, it's like the cherry on top. Nice touch.
