Chilling Out Sunday in Sewing Studio - See What I Accomplished

I made another apron using leftover stash. The daisy fabric was used for a paper pieced block for a Calendar Block Swap. The pattern for the fat quarter apron can be found at  http://www.sewwequilt.com/2011/12/comfort-and-joy-guest-pauline-with-her.html 
I added flange to this apron. 




The basket was a paper pieced design from Electric Quilt. Anyone wanting a copy of a 12", 10", 8" and 6" foundation pattern can have one simply by choosing to follow me and sending me an email request.

After finishing up the apron I played around with Electric Quilt to design a quilt using the blocks for a Heart Block Swap that I led in the Eons Quilters Passion Group which began the latter part of 2010. The blocks were finished and delivered February 2011. I am just now getting around to making them into a quilt. 

I love this heart wrapped in a bow. 
The chocolate block wrapped in a bow was the paper pieced block that I made for each of the 18 other participants. I did make a different block for the male participant in the swap which I fell in love with too! How can you go wrong with chocolates and hearts around Valentine's Day?

 
Last evening I whipped up a couple of the Whirlwind blocks for alternating blocks for the heart quilt. I think this will help to pull all the various different colors and backgrounds together.

Sassy Apron

This morning I made this apron for someone special for a Christmas present. I followed the pattern as shown on http://www.sewwequilt.com//. I needed to do something that was fun (sewing/quilting therapy) after two full days of Christmas shopping and not accomplishing what I hope to have finished by now.

 Need a smile?
