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!
The fabrics you found are lovely, it looks so cute. Hope you feel more the thing soon :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was fun to make. Feeling better, more like me and less like the thing - from the swamp! ;)
DeleteLovely apron. Very girly and the Christmas print is perfect. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
