You are right, these are adorable...... Might have to make me one of those.

You're right, Jules! And if I didn't already have so many things in progress (including two more projects starting at camp this coming week!), I'd probably give these a try -- I love tea and teapots!
Those are really cute! I am going to try a pattern by Betty Alderman. It's called "Teapot Collection" She has a BUNCH of applique patterns, and Redwork/Bluework patterns. Here's a site with some of them.

Larisa, the closest thing I've found to what your DH wants is a teapot from Upton Teas. It comes with an enormous mesh insert custom fitted to the pot, allowing the tealeaves to float around almost completely free. It works *so* much better than one of the little infusers! And an added advantage is that the tea stops steeping when you take the insert out, so you don't have to worry about the tea becoming too strong. If you think this sounds promising, they have a web site at .
HTH.
Mat has a teapot that has such an insert. It fits inside the teapot and is a sort of cylinder shape. Leaves float around at liberty to brew, but don't pour into your cup. Since we are serious tea fanatics, we also have many of the tea thingies you pop into the pot, and also strainers you put over your cup and just pour the leafy tea into (the strainer catches all the leaves). Let me know your requirements and I'll have a bit of a hunt around...
Yours,

Just to clairfy, that should be addressed to Marissa...My DH can't stand tea in any form.

Lots of teapots in the UK are made like this. My hand thrown Jane Vernon one is - and BIG! I love my 4 pint teapot!
She sure does have some nice patterns. I have her "Pitchers" pattern and hope to get started on it soon. Someone here on the group was asking me how close I was to Palmyra recently ( about an hour) and that's where Betty Alderman is.

I'm picking different fabrics too. Each teapot will be a solid colored print, and a coordinating print on white. I've got the purples, blues, bright corals, reds and greens so far. I found a beeeeeutiful yellow rose print on white, just hunting a yellow solid looking small print fabric for the rest of the pot. I already have the window shade, background, sashing/border, and backing fabrics from my stash. (will be the first quilt I actually had enough fabric in my stash to be a complete part of a quilt!) Soooo just three more teapots to shop for!

I'm so sorry -- to both Marissa *and* Larisa! I got the names confused.... :(
I went into the site to download the patterns and had trouble. I got the first teapot, but the second won't print. It also says that the others are coming later. If anyone has all of them, I would really appreciate receiving copies. You can contact me at snipped-for-privacy@videotron.ca . I don't know if scanning them and e-mailing them will work so you would probably have to snail mail them. I'll give you my address if you have the patterns. Thanks a bunch, Roz Agulnik
