Hello, my sewing friends! With the 12 inches of snow we got, prepping for that and life in general, I've not had time to sit down and bring everyone up to date on my many projects. I plan to change that in today's post, let's get started ...
The doll blanket I was crocheting turned into a real life baby blanket! I got carried away crocheting and to be honest, not paying attention to what I was doing. Once I realized I had made it much bigger than I planned I had several rows done and decided not to undo it. Not to worry, it will be used as a gift in early summer for a real live baby. I have enough of this pink Bernat Baby Blanket yarn left to do a baby doll blanket. This time I will be more mindful of my crocheting!
All 3 of these pieces of fabric are slated to become aprons ... two for me (I wear aprons quite a lot and as a result they wear out and or get so stained that I can't get them clean. This is the time of year that I like to inventory my aprons and replace any that need replacing.) The third piece of fabric (the puppy one) is for an apron for a grand. Grandma is making aprons for all the grands this year for Christmas. This puppy fabric is perfect for one of them! This fabric has been washed and is waiting to be cut out ... then I'll batch sew them!
These are the pieces for the 4th block in my patriot quilt. I got behind on this project, but as you can see 'getting behind' doesn't mean giving up!
And last, but certainly not least, I pulled out these log cabin blocks that are now over a year old and finished them up. This is my current WIP project, one of my sewing goals this year is to work on my Work-In-Progress projects that are 6 months old or older. Please tell me you have WIP's that are as old as mine!
One more thing, I haven't forgotten about the request to show how I made my sewing labels. I hope to get that done this coming week!
That's it for this week! I'd love to hear what your 'making!'
Until the next week!
