Beautiful Black Women and Water Jars Tea Cozy



Rejoice in the grace and beauty of these women, their stature, grace, strength, vitality, balancing the water jars while chatting, carrying a small child, going about daily life. This fabric sings!

“Beautiful Black Women and Water Jars Tea Cozy” features 4 exterior fabrics, all wonderfully contrasting and enhancing. The back of the cozy is cotton vibrating with magenta and apricot orange. The lining fabric is cotton/poly, swirls of earthen sands and sparkles. The cozy is interlined with 2 layers of batting to keep your tea quite warm while you visit with friends and family. I’ve sewn buttons near the bottom of the cozy, front and inside, to add another touch of decoration to the cozy.

A braided golden loop at the top of the cozy, with a bright, shiny orange wooden bead makes it easy to lift the cozy off your teapot. Cozy measures a total width of 29 ½” around by 11” tall.

The cozy comes with a matching hot pad to rest your teapot on while enjoying your tea.This cozy would also be perfect as a small appliance cover and conversation piece in your kitchen!



many smiles!

New - Elegant Burgundy Chartreuse Tea Cozy

My first 2011 tea cozy, now available for sale in my online shop at www.abercot.etsy.com. I'm thrilled to share it with you and I'm quite proud of it - it's my unique design and I used 4 fabrics to create this cozy - some photos and a description follow.


I love to create collages and a contemporary-art style look

to my photos -

Delight in any season throughout the year with this “Elegant Burgundy Chartreuse Tapestry Contemporary Tea Cozy and Matching Hot Pad”. This cozy features 4 exterior fabrics. The front side of the cozy combines 3 beautiful fabrics – a stunning rayon tapestry with deep wine background and golden wheat-colored leaves and buds. On one side of this tapestry is a panel of a pale olive rayon/poly with raised machine-embroidered scrolls and fuzzy ivory and olive flower buds. The other panel is a cotton fabric print, pale gray background and rows of leaves in maroon, rose, burgundy and chartreuse. The back of the cozy is a contrasting chartreuse ultra-suede-like fabric. The lining fabric is a rayon/poly weave, cream background and pale mauve paisley pattern. The cozy is lined with 2 layers of batting to keep your tea quite warm while you visit with friends and family.

A rayon corded ribbon loops at the top of the cozy to make it easy to lift the cozy off your teapot.

Cozy measures a total width of 29 ½” around by 11” tall. I’ve added two matching decorative buttons, too – one to the top of the cozy and one to the top of the hot pad.

Thanks for looking and
many Happy New Year smiles!
