Sara's Chocolate Lovers Apron


Matilda is wearing an apron I made for my friend Sara's retirement. She loves chocolate and plans to take classes on chocolate making in her retirement. I couldn't resist the "Chocolate" fabric and I then found some matching fabric with a chocolate brown background and hearts. So it's a Chocolate Lovers Apron.
I had planned to make a chocolate cake pin cushion but didn't get it finished. My granddaughter was ill last week and had to stay home from school for the entire week. Mema (me) spent a few days with her so my son and his wife could go to their day jobs. Needless to say, I was exhaused each evening when I returned home. No blogging or working in the studio last week. I'm back at it this week.
Oh, yes do you like Matlida's spring dress. It is a lovely vintage double knit dress with a matching jacket. She usually is wearing pearls with this dress. Guess it almost time to find her a summer outfit.

Halloween Apron



I'm hosting a Halloween Apron swap on Fabric in Altered Arts Yahoo group. I made the apron above this week from fabric purchased at Granny's Attic in Campbellsville, Kentucky. I developed the pattern and have used it a few times. Notice the cute black ball fringe also from Granny's Attic. I have bat fabric for another apron which I hope to work on tomorrow. I'm not sure which one I will exchange in the swap. These are quite simple to sew and fun to make. Love the Halloween fabric. I also completed a quilt top for a Halloween wallhanging. It's made from a charm pack. I'll post photo when I finish the quilting. I purchased the charm pack and pattern on-line. A great way to shop.
