Aprons aprons aprons
- Here is the collection of hostess aprons I created. They measure 23 x 18 and are fully reversible. Some have 3 pockets, some have one on each side, it really just depended on how much of what fabric I had in my stash. All of the ties are handmade double fold binding.
Even more aprons
- These are a bit more flouncy than the hostess aprons. They measure abot 36" at their widest point across the bottom. They are fully reversible (as opposed to partially?). The ties are extra long and will wrap around to the front to tie.
The Kids!
- Just some pictures of the kids from this past summer.
The Placemats
- each set of 4 placemats is made of 3 layers. They measure 18x14 and are backed with a heavy weight cotton canvas.
The Quilts!
- Here are several photos of various quilts I have designed recently. All quilts are 32"x29" and backed in either chenille or minky.

Aprons galore!
So, I am bummed because after spending 2 hours last night trying unsuccessfully to get a post up about the aprons I have made, not only did I fail because my internet connection was painfully slow, but I then discovered that my photos are a little blurry. I think it has something to do with my flash as it didn't seem like it was working right.
Anyway, here are some pictures of my reversible hostess aprons that I designed. They are 23 x 18 with generously long apron ties. Some of the aprons have 2 pockets, some have 3 - it really depended on how much of which fabric I had leftover!
My favorite apron (especially for this time of year!) is the teachers apron. It is adorable back to school prints and has three pockets sized perfectly to hold an assortment of hall passes, chalk, and confiscated goods from the students!

First set of placemats!
After several trial and error runs, I finally have developed a good solid method for making the placemats. The finished size is 18x14 and they have a layer of quilt batting and are backed with a cream colored canvas to give them some heft.
This set is a brown and orange "fall" type theme.

my favorite quilt (so far)
This is my favorite quilt of the baby quilts that I have made. It is a fairly simple pattern that results in a 32"x29" baby quilt. The top is made of Michael Miller, Joel Dewberry, and Amy Butler fabrics with some fabulously fun furry fleece thrown in for texture and interest. It is quilted with a cotton/silk blend batting, and backed with cream colored chenille.
Surprisingly sewing with the furry fleece was not as difficult as I had thought and once it is sewn, it doesn't "shed" all over the place like I had feared. Cutting it was another matter entirely and it really does make a huge mess when you are cutting it.
