Halloween apron

Wishing a safe and happy Halloween to you all. I do not celebrate this holiday, but realize that others do. My daughter and her family do celebrate, so pictured above is an apron that I made for my granddaughter. The fabrics are 100% cottons, and were either on clearance sale or already in my stash. Granddaughter Macey loves witches, so that one fabric she should really like. A large polka dot pocket is across the lower front, and sash ties around the neck and at the waist serve as fasteners. 'Want to see the matching hair bow? Continue reading.

Sunbonnet Sue: completed quilt top!

It is finally completed, yay! Pictured above is the Sunbonnet Sue full-size quilt top. We do not have a full-size bed, so had to place it on a king-size bed. The quilt has a total of 42 blocks, each with 4 lattices and 4 cornerstones. It is now hand-quilted to the batting and white backing by stitching in the ditches between every lattice horizontally and vertically. This is really a learning experience. Every Sue's dress and bonnet is made of a remnant of every outfit that I have made for granddaughter Macey since she was born in 2011. Can you believe it has come this far? To see close-ups of the corners of the quilt, please continue reading.

Where have I been?

Not a post for over a week... where have I been? Our family has had some sadness lately, but all is getting better now. I have also been not feeling too well, but am finally getting better now. 'Been visiting some of your blogs and commented a bit. Pictured above is a hair bow that I made for my granddaughter this past summer. 'Didn't want a post with no image, so thought that would make a good one. There is a matching blouse and shorts set, but somehow failed to get a photo of them before giving them to my granddaughter. That fabric is from an older Riley Blake© collection called Scoot.

'Hoping that you are all doing well and are happy. Early this morning, we had some nasty lightning and heavy rain. 'Kinda out of season, but it happened. It is so good to have the cooler weather during the night time. 'Looking forward to that cooler weather during the day time. It seems like September flew by so fast. Have you all been getting any rain or storms lately? Prim Autumn blessings.
