February's 1 XMAS a Month Item

I loved the Christmas Apron that I made one of my neices for Christmas last year, so when my local quilt shop placed their Christmas fabric on sale right before New Years Eve I just had to see if there were any fabrics that would work well for another Christmas Apron.  I literally arrived on the last day of the sale with barely an hour to spare, so the choices were sparse.  I do love the print and am very happy with it.  The red striped fabric for the ruffle and top straps was actually with a line of patriotic fabric and the green was found elsewhere in the shop as well.



 This quilt bag is not actually another Christmas gift, I made it for another customer with a beautiful huge quilt.  Sadly, you do not see the quilt in the bag because two days after I finished the bag, I caught a persistant stomach bug that gave me 48 hours of total misery.  I could barely do much of anything the following day, now I'm feeling stronger every hour, but I still don't dare eat anything exciting and have now been caffine free for four days.  I so miss my coffee, but as I must have cream in it, I don't dare chance it quite yet.   I haven't even looked into my studio, it would just make me feel worse.   I hadn't quilted her quilt yet!  Darn it, now I'm behind again!  


I will be happy, when I am quilting again!

    1. Thank you, It is very girly isn't it? Not feeling up to sewing, but I may play with some fabric options for more aprons, that will cheer me up.
