Birthday Apron!

My little sister is having a birthday, not just any birthday but her 50th birthday! She asked me for an apron a couple of months ago , so that is what I made her for her special day. She said she needed one to cook bacon because she kept ruining her clothes.  I purchased the pattern and fabric months ago when she first asked me, so I should have had plenty of time. Time just slipped away  and today with only 2 days from the day , I was speed sewing!
Here's the pattern...
It is by cabbagerosequilts.com , Barbara Brandeburg.
From Little Black Dress Collection

Couple of pearl buttons and she's set!
So I ran out and got that in the mail.  I had not had a chance to tell you all about my friend , Mary Ann! She went to a quilt show where Edyta Sitar was speaking and giving a trunk show and bought us both one of her new books. Not only that she stood in line and had her sign them. WOW and double WOW! here is a pic of new book and signature,I am so tickled....

I have also been busy with the next Prairie Women's Sewing Circle club quilt. I have the top done and Hopefully this weekend I will get it quilted! Hope you like it...





On top of all this activity the birds are going crazy around here. They are chasing each other all over and trying to get in the patio doors.  The most persistent is a Bluebird...





Chit chat later,Martha.

Onward!

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
