A Pair ~ and a Pear : )



A few years ago I designed the Apple Orchard hot pad. 
It is a great project to use those precious scraps you have been saving.
Mine includes some of my favorite scraps that I have been saving for just the right project.


I have been planning on creating a pear to go with the apple for a very long time and it is finally done.

It is an easy make and a great way to learn an easy way to apply bias tape.  The same method as I used in my round potholder tutorial you can find [HERE]


It seemed like a perfect time to create the pear as Fall has arrived.
I will be sure and post when the pattern is complete and post a little give away : )

I have been getting into a routine after a lovely but not very structured summer.
My boys are finally in school after a week long teacher's strike.  As frustrating as the strike was, I am a staunch supporter of our teachers and am happy they negotiated a good contract for the next few years.  They deserve it for all their had work and dedication.
As a classroom volunteer, I am always amazed at their grace and composure teaching a classroom of 25 - 30 kids!

You will be hearing from me a lot more
now that I have dedicated time to work on projects and share them with you : ) 

Happy Sewing
