A Day in my Sewing Room

I have enjoyed a day to myself - in my sewing room - being creative.

First I made 2 sets of aprons to go in the silent auction at the next quilt show. It all started because a friend wanted a pattern for a kid apron. Alexander and Allison have aprons that they use here for kitchen and art activities. I shared an apron with her to get the pattern and then I got started on my own. On my design wall have been five houses I made from Laura Wasilewski fabrics and one house made in her fusing class last summer. I decided to put them together and call it Laura's Houses. It is ready for machine quilting.

I had a block left over from a block exchange - occasionally you get one that is an inch too small - and it just doesn't fit in the quilt. Now it is on the wall in the back hall.

With a few leftover strips from the binding and the backing, I have a small hot pad.

All this and I'm making progress on the flower girl dress for Allison. She tried on the top when here for Thanksgiving - I made a little adjustment and am ready to add the skirt.

I finished knitting a shawl in case her arms get cold. She was worried about that because the wedding is December 29 and that is winter!!!

It feels good to create - I want more time to do just that.........maybe in the new year!!!!!!!!!
