Get cosy

You may think that after the inspired moment that was 'the making of the bin cosy' last week, I had developed myself a new habit, a habit of cosy making.  You might think that.  But you'd be wrong.

I have in fact been looking at things for years and thinking 'that would look nicer with a dash of quilted fabric wrapped around it' because why should beds and laps have all the quilty fun?  I have a current habit of making cosy little frocks for glass jars (please see evidence on above bookshelf).

Over the last few weeks I have been busy in my idle time making pieced star jar cosies, machine embroidered scallops on mushroom jar cosies

And even embroidered cosies for glass jars to make a quilty looking vase.

OK, perhaps I better stop there before I get cosied away, on the other hand I do have a nice shiny just washed jar to the left of my kitchen sink.................hmm?

You are a very talented woman but I think you might need to step AWAY from the sewing machine for a bit, lest you start sewing cozies to wrap around your children, saucepans, boots, etc. :)

Oh these are just too cute! The star one is over the top, so adorable!!

I agree, pretty much everything would look better with a little quilty goodness on it!

I love those little cozies!!! I want to make some! If you have some type of formula for making them, I would love to know what it is.

Don't stop these are too cute. BTW I've a jar for my pencil, perhaps I'll do a little make over;-)

That is awesome! I love a good fabric oriented obsession!

I think that everything you make is gorgeous and beautifully made Aneela. Are you on a one-woman mission to cover the planet in fabric?!

I thought you might be aiming for something like this?

If it doesn't move, quilt it!

I LOVE that idea. It would make a perfect gift for a birthday...put a cozy around the vase holding bday flowers! It would be great for a hospital gift. I love it!

BTW, it makes a beautiful post... ;p

I love the jar cozie covers.I would love a quilted room like the grannie square rec. room. It would be the only padded room I would let anyone put me away in and believe me, many want to.

Go on you know you want too... ;-)

Those cosies look fab!

One can never have too much cosy-ness in their lives...

Your daughters and husband better watch out - if they stand still for too long they'll find themselves cosied up!!! The jars look fabulous - great idea!

[Sarah]

Just for the record - in a knitting magazine I was recently looking at there was a full page picture along with the tutorial for knitting a waste basket cover. So perhaps you're on to something :-D

Keep up the great blogging!

[Ute]

I think that Beth had a great idea- a world-cosy!(Globe-cosy?) Might be a bit tricky though... Anyway, keep on blogging and keep the world cosy!
