Do you love coffee?  I do - especially that first sip in the morning.  So what did I do?  I made a little art quilt in honour of that    AHHHHsome moment:  the first sip.

I pieced the background to loosely approximate my kitchen - yellow tile counters  - got the grid effect with a paintstick rubbed over a plastic utensil that I found in the kitchen drawer.

I paid homage to my very favorite coffee mug by using its image in this piece - printed then machine appliqued onto the background.  Thread painting, acrylic paint touch up here and there added texture and interest.

Added a little glitter just for fun

Glitzed up a few coffee beans for the full effect and free motion stitched my sentiments.
