Aprons, Aprons, Aprons

OK, I guess I am stuck on making aprons. Here are a couple of new ones. They are so fun to make, adourable to wear and just so darn practicle. Oh, geeze,did I say that? Practicle? I am getting domesticated! LOL These fabrics are, again, the Charizma line from Moda. Lovely farbic!

This one is from Moda fabrics also. Love the dots. Are dots coming back? I think so. They are cheerful.

We have received around 15 more bolts of Batiks at the shop where I work. Gotta love it!!

We are socked in here with fog. I was going to spend some more time working in the gardens with still a few Peonies that need to be cut down and Hedge Apples to pick up. Too many Hedge Apples... It was suppose to be a beautifully sunny November day...yah, right. I guess I will have to spend some time in my sewing room. That is just terrible, don't you think?

Have a great day and may the sun shine on you today!

Aprons with Charisma

anThe Quilt Shoppe received the Charisma fabrics from Moda. I really love them, they are so cute. Aprons have been on my mind, I need one to wear since I am sooo sloppy in the kitchen. Brenda and I bought the fabric and spent Saturday morning sewing up some really fun aprons.

Aren't they cute!! I took my first one to work to put it on display so my dress form could have something to wear other than some scarves. :-)

Jean made a Turkey wall hanging that really help me get into that Thanksgiving spirit. Another thing that I need to sew! Take a closer look at his tail feathers.

Well, off to make more aprons...I think I will try another pattern.

Look what we just got in at the quilt shop. I just love this line of fabric from Moda called Charisma. Beautiful colors. I purchased some to make aprons out of. Have you made any aprons lately? Have a favor pattern? Let me know what it is, I am looking for a few good patterns.


This is a tablerunner I have worked on this week when I have time. Batiks wonderful colors are excellent for tablerunners . I still have a lot of appliquéing to sew but it is good practice for me. Applique is not my first choice in quilting....

Oh, yes, if you come into The Quilt Shoppe and mention that you saw the Charisma fabric on my blog you will get a 10% discount on it.

Saturday DBI (Downtown Bryan Inc.) had its' Scare On The Square Day on the square in town. There were a lot of fun activities even though the temperature was soo cold.

I had the honor of being the driver in the DBI casket. What a hoot! The guys pushing the casket did a really great job, they pushed me right into first place. Yes, we had to wear costumes and yes, I had to wear a crash helmet for safety.

OK...

This is Mandy, she makes things happen at DBI. A great gal to work with as well as cute as can be. :-)

Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend and the week is a great one. Bye...........

Threads of my quilt...

Hey Everyone,

I just have time for a quick note and then off to work at The Quilt Shoppe, in Bryan, Ohio. We just got in some Presencia thread in the 60 wt. Has anyone else tried this? I love the 60 wt!!! I have tried the 50 wt. which everyone seems to have but it is a bit heavy for the type of free motion quilting I do so when the 60 wt. arrived I dove right in and tried it. It is wonderful, wonderful.

I would love to know what you all think of the 60 wt.

Have a great day!! Gotta run...

Marsha :-)
