I finished the farm baby quilt last night. Whew, that is a lot of work for a small quilt. I bound it with strips of the same block fabric and used bits and pieces of leftover flannel for the backing. I hope you like it.
It's been snowing non-stop for the past day or so and this is the view this morning, outside our living room. Kinda' makes you want to snuggle down with a cosy quilt by the fire, doesn't it?
As well, I have been meaning to post pictures of the aprons I made recently. I love vintage things and when I saw this apron panel, I just had to have it (both actually). The panels are pre-printed and come with cutting, sewing and assembly instructions, so these were very easy. Plus, they were on 1/2 price, so what could be better than that? I had been looking at the most adorable aprons on another website, but they ran about $30, so of course I said, "I can make something just as cute for even less!" And I did......
How cute are those lemons?
These are the ceramic measuring spoons I just love and had to have. I saw them originally on Giada Di Laurentis' cooking show and scoured the internet for them. I found them on Amazon and they are by Sandicraft (I think I remembered that correctly?). I love them!
I love the ruffle on the bottom. Very June Cleaver!!!! I also like how the waist ties come back around and tie at the front.
The brown and pink in this toile print fabric reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream - you know, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. I had to buy it too. Each panel cost $9.00, so I got 2 cute vintage style aprons for $18.00 - what a bargain!!! I also made one for my sister. She loved the apron panels too.
Have a great day!
