Dino Hat Week 7

Isn't she just the most adorable model ever? I don't have small babies anymore so I made this hat for my neighbors granddaughter. All she had to do is model it. She did so fabulously ! This child has such a personality and is so very photogenic. Thank you little Addison, for being a wonderful model. Enjoy your dino hat.

Apple Bibs. Week 6

Well, we are on week #6 of the Patchwork Please Sew Along and we are on to the kids section of the book. The first project from this section are these adorable apple bibs. I couldn't just make one so I made 2 and they will both go to my cousins little girl for the holidays. Yay! one more gift made. And so far in advance too.

Zakka Style week 5

Hello and welcome to week #5 of the Patchwork Please! Sew Along. This week I made a set of patchwork placemats. I changed the pattern a little bit because I had a busy week. I was pressed for time but I still think they turned out fine. Grandmas china looks great on these colorful placemats.

Week 4 of the Patchwork Please! Sew Along Cafe Apron

Wow, I can't believe we are starting week 4 of the Sew Along. I know I said that in the end I would have 18 presents for Christmas, but I think I am keeping this one. I have to admit that I have no real use for this cute apron but I will have to wear it just for the heck of it. I was able to get 2 yards of the gorgeous yellow fabric, at IKEA, for 97 cents a yard. I have been waiting for just the right project to use a piece of it. 

I love the way this project turned out, so I made myself a Christmas gift. No, I will not wait till the Holidays to wear it.

Week 3 Lettered Tea Cozy and Teabag Holder

Oh what a wonderful gift this will make. This weeks project in the Patchwork Please! Sew Along was an adorable tea cozy and a matching teabag holder. This was a pretty simple project, I think I even did well on the quilting. I was thinking, " paired with a vintage teapot it will make a really great gift for a really great friend" . The owl teapot belongs to my daughter (sorry if you were hoping this gift was going to you :)

Tea Towels Week 2 Patchwork Please!!!!!

Patchwork Please! Sew along

 Week number 1-  Pepper coasters

My newest project is following along in the Patchwork Please! sew along. One project a week for 20 weeks straight. The book is by Ayumi Takahashi and has some awesome projects including 2 quilts, yep 2 quilts. I am taking the challenge not only because they are very cool projects, but because by the end of the sew along (which ends in Oct) I will have 20 Christmas presents done. Who will be the lucky recipients???????
