I seldom include letters or words in my pieces, but the challenge called for them, hence, Pouring T, quite literally! I tried cutting the letters out from fabric, but since I was unwilling to sew all around the edges for each letter, I tried out a technique that came through Joggles.com recently. They had a video of printing using adhesive foam and pieces of foam core for printing, and since I always have loads of foam core scraps, I gave it a try. The printing came out a bit light, but I filled in the T's with the same marker I had used for ink, and outlined the H2O steam and felt satisfied with the result.
At first, I was going to crop the kettle, but it wanted to be included in its entirety -- though it didn't want to have a handle!
Thanks, Ann, for a fun challenge. I welcome any comments.

This is a very fun interpretation of the theme. Great images. I'm going to try making foam core letters.
It's always fun to be able to try out a new technique on a Fast Friday quilt. Stamping with foam core was very effective here with your quilt. Good job!
I LOVE this! I am a recovering tea addict. I am not suppose to drink it anymore. Had to make a pot this morning because I was having a horrible day. Delicious. It also made me realize how much I missed it and how much I love it.
PS. Really like the tea pot slightly out of the design.
Tobi, I really like the composition of this piece. Many of the art quilts I've seen with words had used stamps and then quilted around them. Great Job!
I love this quilt. Our town just finished having our first "Tea" in conjunction with a museum display. The timing of this quilt was perfect.
Like the T s technique. Cute quilt.
