Time in a Bottle

Welcome to my blog and today it is my turn to share with you all the item that I made using an hourglass block.    When making my tea cosy for an earlier blog hop this month the thought did cross my mind that every teapot should have a trivet to stand on so with that thought in mind here is my Time in a Bottle idea.


And in the picture below is it teamed with its matching tea cosy.


As we all know when making an hourglass block you end up with two so in order to avoid having an orphan block hanging around the sewing room it was used as the backing.......so you can have two trivets the same by flipping it over.   

Time now to head on over to the following blogs to see some eye candy.

 




Thank you Carol for organising another fun blog hop.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

A great idea Karen- a simple idea but very handy indeed. And such a cheerful way to enjoy your cup of tea. I like the way you put the hourglass on both sides!
