August Friends of WMS Waltz

Good morning, Waltzers! Welcome to the August Friends of WMS Blog Waltz. Today we're waltzing with a tea or coffee theme.

Here are the details: if you want to waltz along with us and you haven't yet linked up your project, head to the link list thread in the WMS Forum to link up your creation and view the other participants. There is also a thread for chatting about what you've seen. This month a random waltz participant will be chosen to receive a prize.

This month we are also saying farewell to Bonnie and Carly, who have stepped down from the WMS Design Team. I will miss both of these ladies more than I can tell you! Each brought something very special to our little group (more like a family!) and their absence is obvious! The DT thought it would be a perfect opportunity to waltz in their honor and let them know how much they mean to us!

So Bonnie and Carly, I just want you to know that I will always consider you both very special friends! And there is always time for friends!

This month I'm sharing a little gifty project - a set of tea towels with cute little tea cup appliques. I started with some flour sack towels I purchased (these are Martha Stewart from KMart). Then I stamped the large teacup image from Afternoon Tea Sentiments onto different patterns of coordinating fabric. I adhered the fabric to a fusible web and then cut my teacups out. A few minutes with the iron and voila! You could stitch around them if you wanted, but I chose not to.

Don't the patterned tea cups look so cute all lined up beside each other?! I tied them together with a cute little tag and that was it! These were really easy, and I think they turned out really cute! Just think of all the possibilities!

Glad you could stop in today, have fun waltzing! Please, if you could, stop by Carly and Bonnie's blogs and wish them good luck! We will miss them!
