Quilting Arts Challenge

 'Coffee or Tea' was the theme for the latest Quilting Arts magazine challenge.

I used coffee filters, beads and lace.   First I dyed my coffee filters in coffee overnight.  Then layered them onto my batting.  I stitched curved lines to simulate steam rising from a coffee mug.  

Beads were added to outline the shape of 2 of my favourite cups and lastly added a bit of lace to portray the steam coming out of my coffee.
