Show and Tell/Fabric Friday


Rosebud Quilting is having Fabric Friday/Show and Tell.
On Fabric Friday, Michelle asks us to show any handmade item {quilts, tote bag, wallhanging, clothing, etc.}, or show your fabric stash, or recent fabric purchase, or show how you decorate with fabric or fabric items.

So I am sharing an Apron I made for a class I taught last spring to some high school girls. We had such a fun time. Here is a picture of all of them in their wonderful aprons. My daughter who was my assistant in the class is modeling my apron.

So please pop over to Rosebud Quilting and check out not only her great site, but all the show and tells for the week.

I WON!

Like most people I never win drawings. But this time I hit the jackpot! I won a absolutely gorgeous group of fat quarters. They are from Linda Lum DeBono's Inspiration line. It is in honor of breast cancer. They not only look beautiful they feel wonderful too. I have already started my quilt. It is to honor my two Aunts who have battled breast cancer. But also my friend Carol Morris, who lost her battle last week.

Busy Busy Busy

Here is a little peek at what I have been working on this week. It has been a quilt for Sonia. She loves her bright colored quilt I made this summer BUT...it is not really what she wanted. (I used my stash with that one) She wanted to pick some fabrics. Well when she saw these Heather Ross Fabrics she had to have them! The are so pretty and really do call her name. So I have been working on a quilt for her. Her Birthday is coming up.
Here is a close up of the blocks.


Oh and then I took every possible scrap and made blocks for me to have a wall quilt. If I can I might squeeze out a throw. I just love these Heather Ross prints. Pictures of that will be coming soon.
