Another apron





I am having too much fun with these aprons. I don't use a pattern, so I'm designing it as I go along. I start with a fat 1/4 and build it from there. I've had this GORGEOUS old Madeira hankie with an "R" monogram done in shadow embroidery. The pics don't do it justice. Once again, the fabric is from the Moda line, "Aviary" and is sooooooo "deeeeeeeLISH!" I adore the soft shades of lime and pink and the delicate florals. I just get all giggly goo!!!
I've been visiting the quilt shop about every other day and I completely lose my mind as soon as I step inside. I forget why I'm there and it's so hard for me to make a decision...I want it all!

Colors of Spring




I finally got to sew today...Yeah! The triangles were a bit of a challenge until I got the hang of it. Then I could have pieced those puppies all day long! The ol' rotator cuff injury didn't much like it, but I persevered. This line of fabric is from Moda and it's a "cake layer" I purchased from a quilt store in Branson, MO. Since then, I've purchased 2 more on ebay, which was about 1/2 the cost.

The tulips are from my garden. I cut them before the freezing snow we had on Saturday. I hope that was the last of the cold. C'mon Spring!
