You have to read this great poem about an apron. It brought me to tears.
And now some more tears, but from laughter.

I finally finished the frog quilt. Here it is on the porch. It was late afternoon, so the tree next to the porch is throwing shadows. I am really happy with how it came out. I stitched the binding to the back and curled it around to the front and then I used a decorative [...]
And the winner is…..

I was going to wait and post this after I got the frog quilt finished, but it’s taking a little longer than I thought, so here you are.
OK, so I could not pick just one winner. I asked each of my girls to give me a number between 1& 100, and I counted comments [...]
Some progress last night

Last night I cross hatched the frog quilt and got it ready for binding. I’ll stop by today and pick up something for binding. Hopefully I will have this done this weekend. Once I had it quilted, I worked on a couple more foot wraps. They are coming together pretty quickly now. So cute and [...]
Sheet Apron

I have been seeing aprons from vintage sheets around blogland. I’m not a big fan of the 1960’s green and yellow, so I found a sheet with pink, red, and blue flowers. I would love to have a red kitchen, and I am slowly moving that direction.
I found the sheet as part of a twin [...]
Super Poker

I’m sure the title of this post will get a few interesting searches. I was having a difficult time finding just the right turning instrument a while back. I used an unsharpened pencil, but it did not get in the corners right. Then I tried a skewer for the corners, but it [...]

This is post #100 for me. I started posting in November during NABLOPOMO. I wasn’t sure if I would keep up with it after November, but I am really enjoying it.
As is tradition, I’m posting a give away. I will be happy to sent your gift to anyone in the US. [...]
Little Bitty Aprons

I made the girls new aprons this week. I drafted the pattern, cut them, and sewed them in an afternoon. At first, I just put on the top pocket, but J suggested I add pockets lower. Last night I cut the lower pockets and attached them. I got 3 yards of this fabric at a [...]
Fabric Fun

I was so excited today when Diane from my office brought me a fantastic goodie bag. She had been cleaning out her fabric stash and brought me a grocery bag full of some beautiful fabric. Last week she brought me a bag with some Christmas fabrics and the stuff to make a couple of bags. [...]
Some Ta Done, Some to do

So a few things made it onto the ta done list. I had a pretty productive weekend. Saturday J’s Grandparents and Cousin came over for a few hours. It was nice seeing them. I needed the sewing area spiffy before they got here Saturday, so J got his wish and that item moved to the [...]
