Catching Up!

Hello again! I feel like December has just gone by so fast and I have not had the chance to blog much. A lot has been going on over the holiday (Merry Christmas to those who celebrated) including the ENTIRE family being sick...so needless to say a lot of my 'to-do's' for Christmas did not happen (including blogging). So I thought I would play catch up and combine what's been happening this past month.

First I will start off with the aprons that I made for cooking Thanksgiving supper with my Mother in law this year.

I used this book and the pattern was actually one of our strip club samples ( Happy Apron) from the last year. I don't have a pic of mine but hopefully I will get one soon!

Then my wonderful friend Shelli sent me this wonderful bundle of fabric for my stash- Thanks Shelli! I am already putting it to good use!



And last but not least is the latest customer quilt that I did for his wife for Christmas. He wanted a garden theme and to have a couple of verses embroidered. Also he sent the t-shirts that his wife had designed so I pieced them together and used them on the back. All in all I totally love the way the quilt translated from my original design to the quilt you see here! Word is she loved it so now I am totally pleased!

I named this design " Memories Among the Flowers" and there will be a pattern for a similar quilt in 2009 in my etsy!

Well gearing up for the New Years celebrations tonight and hoping to get a great start to 2009. Hopefully I will get my 2008 finishes recapped soon!
Until next time I hope you all have a wonderful time with whatever you do tonight to celebrate the changing of the year!
Happy New Year!- see you in 2009

Hi Cara,
I love the apron you made. That book is going straight on my Amazon wish list :)
The quilt you made looks awesome. For some reason I coulldn't click to get a close up of it but what I see is magnificent. You are very talented.
