Well most people don't know and will probably never know that Apron is an "A" Word, at least in my sewing room. I seriously do not know what possessed me to decide to make aprons. I made 7 for our family reunion in September and then suddenly decided to make some for Christmas. I made 4 for Jennifer and her girls, 5 for Mari and her girls and just completed 3 for Joleen and her girls. I still have one more to make for Julie, but she is a patient daughter-in-law, I hope. So I think that makes a total of 20. Next time I get this crazy idea or one like it, someone please remind me of my insanity.
I am anxiously preparing for our sister's retreat at Moms this next weekend. I have blocks cut for the block of the month I am doing (Tucson quilt store) and I have sorted the layer cake fabric into a somewhat cutting plan. I will also take the glace block of the months incase I get these done.
My applique block of the month (Benson Quilt Store) is coming along well. I just finished cutting and pressing the 11th block and hope to do the 12th tomorrow. Then sandwiching and blanket stitching around 10 of them. It is so incredibly gorgeous. I think applique will not be an (A) word in my sewing room. It is actually fun. I am looking forward to learning how to put them together, as it is a quilt as you go. The incredible part if that there is sashing inbetween the blocks.
After I get back from Mom's, I want to finish Allysa's quilt in time for her baptism the first weekend in March.
I am not sure that is an "A" word for me yet. I still haven't made one.
