So I know I should really probably blog in order of events and such, but that's not how I roll I guess ( I'm the same way with scrap booking.) Anyways, I wanted to document some the fun projects I've been working on.
First the Emmeline apron, oh the apron! My sister Chrissy made this wonderful apron for me back in May after I saw the pattern on her sewing desk and knew I had to have it! We headed to Joann's and I picked out the fabric, then a few weeks later I had a lovely package in the mail from her. Yes, my sister's pretty dang cool! Well my friend Claire saw it and thought it was awesome as well. Claire is our friend Rays girlfriend and she has babysat for us so many times and she NEVER lets us pay her. So for Christmas I thought I would whip one up for her, yay right whip! She just barely received her completed apron a week ago...my bad! I can't even count the number of times I was seam ripping on the bodice piece! Anyways, I'm so glad it's done, and I'm pretty happy with results (just don't look too closely!)
Now I'm on to my next project...a quilt! I'm doing a quilt a long, following another blog. We do a different step each week, I thought it would be a good way to learn how to quilt, and it's a lot of fun. So far I've got it all cut out, but sometime this week I need to sew it together. I'm waiting on a new sewing machine (hopefully it shows up today!!!), then I will get that step done! I will post my progess as I get going on it!

I love the way you explain it in this blog, like we're having a phone conversation! They're both really cute and I like the fabrics. Way to be sew and a bodice like that would intimidate me too!
