High Tea Collection Blog Tour & A Free Tutorial

Hello and wel­come to my stop on the High Tea Col­lec­tion Blog Tour.   I’m so happy to be join­ing so many won­der­ful blog­gers sew­ing along with the High Tea Party.   What a fun theme for a blog tour and just per­fect for Jera Brand­vig’s debut col­lec­tion for Lecien.

Jer­a’s High Tea fab­ric is a gor­geous col­lec­tion remin­is­cent of fine bone china and all things good and prop­er.     I’m such a creature of habit and nor­mally choose the same basic 5 or six col­ours when I buy fab­ric so its been really lovely and cre­at­ively fun to work with this range.

My plan was to make a small table top­per for the High Tea Party but when the fab­ric arrived the idea evolved a little bit and I’ve ended up with a small quilt that could be used as a table top­per or a small baby quilt.   It fin­ishes at 38″ x 38″.

It was a pretty simple little quilt to make and I’m sure you could all work it out your­self but just in case I’ve popped a very quick tutori­al below you can fol­low along with if you like.     The tutori­al will be avail­able right here on my web­site so you can access it anytime.

Right… back to the quilt!   I quilted this one myself in a simple mean­der­ing design.  There’s a few jigs when there should have been a jag but I don’t think my rusty skills did too badly.   It cer­tainly was nice to sit and do a little bit of free motion rather than straight line sewing.

I hope this little quilt gets some inspir­a­tion hap­pen­ing for you.   High Tea is such a sweet little col­lec­tion and it’s in stores now so you can grab your­self a little (or a lot!) on your next trip to the quilt shop.

Happy quilt­ing,

  2. I really love the pat­tern and the fab­ric you chose for this quilt. I am new to quilt­ing. I looks like there are about 7 dif­fer­ent fab­rics from the High Tea fab­ric line. I really would like to make this quilt as it is pic­tured here, but I am lost when it comes to the fab­ric require­ments for this darling quilt. Is it 7 FQs? If so, which col­or fab­ric is the BACKGROUND fab­ric? I would very much appre­ci­ate know­ing exactly how much fab­ric to buy. Please advise. Thank you.

      1. Hi Peta, Thank you so much for your answer. Your quilt pat­tern goes per­fectly with this lovely fab­ric. I am con­fid­ent that I can make this darling quilt with your tutori­al and the High Tea fabrics.
