Progress
So since I have a break from work and I have rested after the holiday it's time to get caught up on the snowball challenge quilt. I had virtually abandoned it almost as soon as I started it as the holidays really took over my available time. But now everything is cut, the HST's are sewn and some of the parts have been sewn so perhaps one of these days I'll be able to show off some blocks. I've done a couple of test blocks but that's not enough to show. There are some over achievers in this challenge that have finished their quilts! Then there's me who is hoping there's a prize for last quilt completed!
One of the sewing projects that had me distracted before Christmas were these two aprons that I made for my DIL and DD. I love this pattern and will have to make one for myself one of these days. After the snowball quilt, I promise. Note to self; don't sign up for a quilt challenge so close to Christmas!
beautiful aprons, would you mind sharing the pattern you used? can't wait to see your snowballs come together, love the red fabrics i could see in the one picture. have fun with it.
ReplyDeleteha ha.... funny about taking on a challenge so close to Christmas and I'm sure you will receive a prize! Your dil and dd's aprons are gorgeous, as are they! Great models!
ReplyDeleteGREAT photo of DIL and Caryl in the fantastic aprons. They look great. DIL and Caryl. The aprons are good but you know, the Women make it work!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I LOVE that photo of your HST's and 'some parts'. The way the light comes in "yonder window" is perfect.
On that note to self (ps: *but if I change my mind, allow me some leeway...)
Those aprons are adorable. I agree with Karen that the models show the aprons off so well. Keep plugging away on the snowballs, Chris. Just call it your Valentine Quilt!
