I have some aprons ready to ship out. I tried new method with the straps on this one. I made sleeves on the ruffle apron for one long strap to run through so that the neckline is adjustable without having 2 sets of ties. I also found some cute coordinating grosgrain ribbon, so I used that as as opposed to making my own.
My mother in law asked me to make a quilt for someone she knows that's doing a Minnie Mouse nursery. The mouse head and bow are appliqued. The name and year will be, too. I still need to satin stitch around them, right now they are just ironed on with Heat'n'bond. It's going to be really cute, I have red minky for the backing and plan to do ruffles around the edge.
Cheer season has already began, my classes start Monday, and my daughter's school starts Thursday, so I have started using a planner to keep track of everything. Shaley had one that she hadn't used, so I decided to make a cover for it. The peace signs and such on the front really weren't my style.
I used mostly scraps, notice the black polka dot is left over from the apron at the top of the post. But I have some newsprint texty prints that I've been dying to use, so I cut just a smidgeon of each to incorporate into it.
Of course I had to use some Anna Maria Horner. The big floral piece on the back is leftover from my kitchen balance. I'm using a Kindle to download my school books and I ordered an orange case so it would be easy to find in a full bag. I like to coordinate, so I trimmed my planner in orange, too.
Shaley is begging for a book bag made from a print she loves that we actually got for free because Fabric.com sent it as a mistake. Their customer service is the best, if they send you the wrong thing they just let you keep it. Of course as soon as I catch up I have 3 more new projects lined up. Hopefully the planner will keep me organized as intended and I'll be back here soon with more fun stuff.
