Berries and warmer weather?


Opened Pandora's box,  the Rubbermaid in my sewing room.
Found a collection of projects which have been prepped and will be sewn soon.
 Apron, this one got finished.
 My friend Kate reminded me, it is a quick make, if one just line the apron.
Finished and folded up, now it is off the list!
 Hot potholders and place mats. They will be made this year.
Have two of these Advent calendars, both have been pinned and layered, ready for machine quilting.
Got one of these at Quilt Canada in 2016, then another last year in Almonte, at Textile Traditions.
 They get sewn together and create a complete tree with birds.
One sew all the seams in one direction first. Vertically, it creates a piece which will look like the one below.
 Once this is done, one repeat the process, for the horizontal seams.
 The back and front of the two panels.
 Once all the seams have been sewn, this is what the completed back and front will look like.
 A tree filled with birds!  Someone had a lot of time on their hands to dream up this one. 
With the mild winter weather this past week, it felt like spring is here, then we got some more snow?

Last but not least a little bit of stitching, the snowman is almost done.

  2. That apron would make a nice hostess gift, already to go. I always find quick projects like that can get me in the mood for sewing.
