Mom's Bluebird and Teapot Collection


I have always been in love with texture and patterns.

I especially love to mix them together.  My sister Lynne has introduced me to the world of quilting.

When I left Hong Kong, my friend Elizabeth gave me this gorgeous teapot.  It is my most cherished possession.  Filled with memories of a wonderful chapter in my life.

The teapot has two spouts.  Inside there are two separate pots, one for hot water and one for tea.

Several years ago I painted an oil painting for my mother of the teapot and I added a little bluejay.





On a recent trip to my mom's, I was staring at a gorgeous quilt that Lynne had made for my mother.  I glanced over at the painting and had a whirlwind of inspiration.

When I got home I designed over thirty different coordinating designs using the same colors.  My fabric collection is called Mom's Bluebird and Teapot CollectionMom's Bluebird and Teapot fabric Collection
I am still trying to find a great way to photograph these designs for my shop.Mom's Bluebird and Teapot fabric Collection


When my fabric arrived yesterday, I was so excited that I had to share it with you today.Mom's Bluebird and Teapot fabric Collection

When I lived in Hong Kong I fell in love with Canto Pop music.  This song is sung by Vivan Chow and it is called Prettiest Tears.  Prettiest tears makes me think of the heartfelt memories of that chapter which are captured in these designs.
