Today, I did this...

This is the 4th time I've made the top apron.  Everyone likes it best.  The smaller apron is for a child.  Both aprons were commissioned by a customer. 



I made 3 of these last Friday, and the other 2 today.  All of these were commissioned by a customer


My sister sent me these embroidered squares a couple years ago.  Because of our various moves, much of my quilting stuff has been in storage for years.  I'm going through boxes and finishing stuff I find :)

Busy summer, but back to sewing...

Its been a while since I posted, but summer was very busy.  We took a couple trips and helped out a few friends, but now we're back home and I'm able to sew. 

In addition to mending some clothes for various family members, I also made a simple curtain for the bathroom, several more aprons and more book covers. 

The latest quilt is random pattern of 5-inch squares of old jeans.  The back is fleece, and I sewed right sides together, turned it inside out, then sewed the hole closed.  Then I topstitched all the way around the edges.  I divided the quilt into 4 square patches and then tied off in each "corner."   

This quilt is a gift for Christmas, for someone who asked for this specific style.
