a Cup of indigo

The color challenge this month at So Scrappy  is indigo. I discussed the color and it's challenges to me here in the Indigo Flamingo's post.
This week it's dishes.
 I've been doing pp dishes in each color.
I pulled the scraps to the left, and fussy cut them for this cup.
I love it!
Now for something to go in the cup...


stars.

Stars in the cup... or star coffee, so strong it will leave a twinkle in your eyes!

Star tea... make a wish while drinking it, then read your tea leaves for your future...

How about a little snack. Better be really little as these plates are small...



So, we have a snack and something to drink.

What about a bowl of lemons, or fruit, or maybe candy??







When I saw this print in the scrap bin, it just looked like a little China bowl.
The pattern was called a latte cup, but it looks like a bowl to me.

The two lighter shades of blue for the inside, were not quite large enough, but I liked the tint and shading so I pieced them together to make them large enough. Proving no scrap is too small for me.

I am happy with this month's dishes

That tea cup is very cute! A tea party would be perfect on a cool wet day like today, so I may need to borrow it. ;)

All the dishes look wonderful in indigo Leeanna! I especially love your coffee pot! The green knob on the lid is a wonderful touch.

Joanne said...

I'll make something very small, without sugar, to put on those lovely dishes!
It's a great tea set today LeeAnna!
What a nice way to start the weekend!

Take care,

Your dish collection is growing. These are a great indigo addition.

Tu-Na Quilts said...

These are so cute! But I'm still curious as to what plan you have for all the different colored dishes. I'd say that is a coffee pot because of the shape. Love the fussy cut cup!!

Linda Wulf Koenig said...

Well this sure got my attention! Big fan of tea sets AND bowls here. Lemons would be amazing in that bowl! The blocks are just gorgeous.

"Cows in the china shop"! have a great weekend!!

Ann said...

Very charming dishes this time around. I love the jewel-like, green knob on your teapot. Sonja's "cows in the china shop," is too funny!

Fun, fun blocks. Love the deep blues in all the blocks. That's going to be such a fun quilt when you get them all done.

Your china cabinet must be getting pretty full by now. Think I like this set the best. Wish we could all come there for a tea party!

Absolutely delightful. I love to fussy cut prints and use them the way you did on the cup. And the bowl is perfect. What a great china cupboard you're going to have!
