Hello and Happy Friday!
I'm going to do a little give-away to celebrate my two newest patterns!
"In the Studio - My Featherweight"
and "In the Kitchen - Grandmother's Apron"
Becca from Sew Me a Song has donated this wonderful FQ stack from Pam Kitty Picnic.
I love this line and can't wait to sew "Grandmother's Apron" with it!

I am working on the pattern for my Anna Blouse.
I've decided to offer a second version with cap sleeves, so I am working on the details: )
I've also been working on my Jam Jars and Fruit Pattern. I have lots of versions and a few items I'm making with the pattern. I can't wait to share it with you!

Have a lovely evening!

ReplyDeleteI just returned from the quilt expo in Schaumburg, IL and I have two table runners that have to be finished that were started in classes I took. One is an adorable cathedral window pattern and the other has a chevron design. The chevron pattern was sewn on a Babylock serger and was more difficult to accurately piece than on a conventional machine. Either way I learned a few new tricks and look forward to finishing them at home. Them on to remaining UFO's.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 UFO projects that need completed...one is Dear Jane and the other is a purse I am doing by a Craftsy class.

ReplyDeleteI crossed one off just now: hand sew binding to my green gate table topper. It's done! Next up, hmmm, I must baste my camping quilt, but before that can be done, I must clear enough space on the floor to lay it out. That's what's really stopping me...
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns! I need to decide on a new project - I don't have anything right now. I really might start some blocks with your patterns - they are so cute!

She liked the ones I gave her so much that she wanted me to do two more so she can put them in a project she has in mind. They've been on my to-do list way too long. I'm about halfway finished on one and just starting on the second one. Hope she likes these two as much as the original.
