Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks
and
my stop in the
Have a Latte blog hop.
How 'bout I pour you a cup of
Perk Power?
That's how my grandparents always made coffee. I remember waking up at their house and smelling the coffee perking on the stove. That was the best smell...
I've been exploring new techniques and made the coffee pot and the handle of the coffee cup with bias tape. Perk Power was made similar to the quilt, Love You to Pieces, a finish in February.
Perk Power
was created with
The sashing is Robert Kaufman Kona cotton in black.
The quilting is whimsical swirls (thanks to my friend Vickie for inspiration) and straight line quilting from the pot to the cup to draw the eye all with
Aurifil 50 wt #4012
I just love that line, "Good Coffee, Good Day!"
(I have been better about labeling my quilts)
Moda marble for the back and a strip of Have a Latte fabrics to make it as fun as the front.
The binding is a mix of Latte fabric and Kona black.

I'll be out on the patio enjoying a cup of java and checking out the other posts of the day.
ENJOY...

Love your quilt! Your use of bias tape makes the percolator pop. Thank you for sharing.
The bias tape is a brilliant idea. thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous wall hanging, Carla! I wouldn't mind having that one on my own wall!
Your quilt wall ganging is adorable! I used to have a coffee pot that perked coffee when we were first married. Then we graduated to a drip coffee maker. Now the fast Mr. Coffee makers. Gee come to think of it, we must have drank a lot of coffee through the years. I remember a lot of different coffee pots, lol.
Great idea, love how your quilt turned out and your quilting is gorgeous.

Aren't you so very clever. The quilt is terrific!
This is, by far, the most creative quilt ever. I love the whimsy and the quilting lines to guide the eye. The coffee pot's bias outline is great. You need to put this in a pattern. That applique with basic blocks is just plain fun.
This is just "perk"fect. I absolutely love the bias tiape design you are doing. Just sew creative.
Your quilt is just perfect. I really like the addition of the black, it gives it such a unique look. Beautiful finish my dear.
What a striking quilt design! It really shows off the fabric and the quilting makes that enticing cup of Joe-elle pop!
Oooh this is so lovely - I didn't notice the coffee pot pouring out at first look but its great and I really don't know how I missed it! Love your quilting too.
This is a fantastic quilt! So very creative.
What a wonderful quilt!
just adore your creation. you are creative. lovely work
You are so creative Carla ! Your idea of the percolator pouring in the cup, so smart ! A tribute to your grandparent for sure. Your quilting is perfect ! Totally impressed :)
Your work is so creative. I love your project, thanks for sharing.
Goodness, this is the cutest quilt. Not only are the fabrics showcased but I'm loving how you used the bias tape for the coffeepot. My husband always says he likes the smell of coffee better than drinking it. :) Me? I love both!
Love the bias tape "watermark" coffee pot in the background of the blocks on the quilt. Fabulous job as always!
MY FAVORITE! You always have such a good vision...BRAVO!!!
What an eye catcher!! Your work is beautiful!
Well I am loving that perk power... great wallhanging, love how you enbedded the coffee pot, great technique..
Wonderful, wonderful,wonderful. great piece. You should enjoy looking at it while sipping your morning brew.
I love it! The name is just as fun as the quilt. Beautiful work!
Do you remember the old coffee commercial showing the glass top of the percolater with the coffee perking away? The melody, "da da da da DA da" (E C E C F E) came instantly to mind when I saw your quilt. Beautiful job.
Very clever!
I love this! How creative and absolutely fun. You did an awesome job. Thanks for sharing it with us. :-)
