NEW SCRAP QUILTS IN THE WORKS!!!

I had a "free" Saturday where I didn't have to work and wasn't planning on seeing the grandkids.  It was a glorious Fall day -- crisp air in the morning, sunny in the afternoon -- and after my walk, laundry, grocery store, etc., I sat down to my sewing machine.  I had just finished a quilt for my granddaughter and I was inspired to go through my scraps and start a new quilt.  As I started sewing with no specific design in mind, I came up with a checkerboard theme.  Unfortunately, I now have two quilts started as I have both pastels and harvest-type fabrics in the works.  It will be two quilts because those two color schemes just do not work together.  I also made a few cloth napkins for my daughter for her birthday -- don't tell!!  A truly productive day of sewing for this lady.

Quilt for sister in law

I was vacationing in Newport Beach this summer with my sisters, nephews, brothers in law, etc.  I brought along an apron that I made for my younger sister who was hosting all of us.  I made aprons for my two sisters at Christmas but not for my sister-in-law who doesnt cook.  At the beachhouse, she told me she would LOVE to have one of my aprons so I promised to send her one.  Well, I decided to finish a quilt I was working on and sent her that instead -- SURPRISE!~!!!   She loved it.
