Scrappy

I have so many fabulous scraps! I found a wonderul pattern in my book, "Fresh Quilting: Fearless Color, Design, and Inspiration" to use some of them.  This was such a fun project!

We LOVE teachers!

As the mother of three, I have a GRAND appreciation for all that teachers do for our children!
...and the bus drivers, speech therapists, para-educators, cooks, and the list goes on!....

I had fun making these Valentine's gifts with love and appreciation.  I covered soup cans with fabric, filled them with goodies, and even made a laminated bookmark!

Apron



I made this apron for my dear mother in law for Christmas.  I wish you could see the details more clearly, as the pleats are so sweet.  The fabric is from Amy Butler's Lark Collection.  I used Amy's Domestic Goddess apron pattern. 

A smock


(My camera was never found, but was reluctantly replaced. Ugh. I am now able to share what I have been busy creating and completing!) 

This is an art smock pattern from one of my favorite children's sewing books, oliver + s little things to sew.  It was too cute to use as just a smock. Izza shows how functional it is!  I will definitely make another.
