The brief this year is simply that the quilts must be 8" X 10" and portrait orientation.  January to April has to have a small piece of purple.  May to August a bit of green and September to December a bit of orange.  I decided to also give myself a theme - Tea.

January JQ.  Used tea bags stitched together on a tea-dyed background.  Lettering painted.  Cup appliqued.  Lots of free motion stitching.
February - Time for Tea.  Made with a hand-carved stamp and lots of stitching
March.  A cup of tea is great for warming up your hands.

April.  Still life "A cup of tea and a good book"
May. The next four must have a bit of green. "Nostalgia"  I have never actually owned this teapot or a tray cloth, but I was imagining my grandmother serving tea.

June.  "Tea Bags"
I have painted assorted bags onto saved teabags and stitched them to a background.

July.  Tea for Two - speaks for itself.  I made two stencils - one for the lettering and one for the silhouette.  Background is colour washed with fabric paint and free-motion stitched.  The binding is painted before being attached,

August.  I'm not sure whether this is readable here.  If you know William Cobbett who wrote "Cottage Economy" this will appeal to you.  It is a diatribe against the evils of tea drinking and is fascinating.  I have edited a bit.
September - The last four months must have a bit of orange.  I think this one speaks for itself.
October - "Picnic tea"  No picnic is complete without a flask of tea.
November - We had to have 'Builders' Tea'
December - You need a tea cosy to keep your tea warm in the winter!  Painted and stitched.
