Start Making Our Quilted Teapot Picture
Begin by bringing your love for tea to life through the art of appliqué and embroidery. Follow the detailed appliqué instructions to create a charming teapot design. Use scraps of floral printed and pink floral fabric on a cream polka dot fabric as your canvas. For an extra touch of elegance, enhance your design with embroidery, beading, and sequins. The accompanying photograph will serve as your trusted guide throughout this creative process.
Start Making The Frame For Our Teapot Picture
To frame your teapot masterpiece, cut a piece of pink floral fabric measuring 12 x 4 inches (30 x 10 cm). Align it with the bottom of the teapot appliqué panel, ensuring the right sides are facing each other, and secure it with pins. Employ your trusty sewing machine to stitch it in place. Gently open and press the seams open. Add an extra layer of charm by machine-stitching a length of white decorative trimming on top of the pink floral panel.

Continuing with your creative journey, refer to the instructions to craft two yo-yos (Suffolk puffs), one from felt and the other from the pink floral fabric. To give them a unique touch, use pinking shears to trim the back of each yo-yo, revealing the pleated interior.
Final Assembly Of Our Pretty Teapot Picture
Now, it's time to add a delightful floral accent to your teapot picture. Carefully position the smaller yo-yo flower atop the larger one. Hand-stitch the two together, ensuring they are secure. In the center of this floral masterpiece, sew a button to provide the finishing touch. Then, attach this beautiful flower to your appliqué picture with a few well-placed stitches.
Finish Your Quilted Teapot Picture
To prepare your teapot picture for display, gently stretch the appliqué artwork around a canvas frame. Use a staple gun to secure the fabric on the back, ensuring a snug and taut fit. On the back of the canvas, attach a ribbon for hanging using the same staple gun. For added durability, reinforce the top of the hanging ribbon by securely stitching on a button.
With your quilted teapot picture now complete, you can proudly display it alongside your pots and pans or share it as a heartfelt gift with a fellow tea enthusiast. This handcrafted masterpiece not only celebrates your love for tea but also showcases your creative flair and attention to detail.
