"Heavy Equipment"

KT departed yesterday morning. Her visit was really wonderful for the monster and me. She is neat and she makes ohhs and ahhs when you put dinner on the table. We did alot of sewing, she finished a quilt and a bag. What a great student! I kept quizzing her on quilting terms to be sure the 'got it' and she aced the quizzes every time. After she drove off, I started putting the sewing room back together. I have been excited to put together the aprons for an order i received. Two dirty men aprons, one camping boys and one construction worker men.

The camping apron was almost identical to the one I made awhile back, but here is the "heavy equipment" apron. I really wonder who names these fabrics. Its made by The Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection.

The backing is a print I picked up at the HOLO. I really love it. I hope the recipient will too.

This pocket made me giddy. I just had all sorts of dirty jokes running through my head. I shall not repeat them, but I'm sure you can think of a few on your own.

Quilt School Graduation

Here is the student on graduation day. She did an excellent job. I am proud and I think she is very happy.

Quilt School Day Four

KT is making great progress! I am really impressed.

I had a little time today to get something going. Full Swing is about 1/2 quilted now. yay!

Quilt School Day Three

Today KT quilted her quilt. She is trimming it up as I type. She is a fantastic student!

We went on a quilt field trip today. haha. There was a quilt show in Roswell today. I snapped pics of my favs.

This wall hanging has pieces is made up of pieces that were only 1/2 inch wide! INSANE

The is was the November section of the seasons quilt. It has my mind going, I need to start thinking about my November wall hanging.

Quilt School Day Two

We had to wait until after naptime to run and get a little hunk of fabric for KT's backing, so we spent the morning working on this.

She made her first bag!

The fabric is from Walmart, and we both love it.

After we ran to get the fabric hunk she learned to piece the backing. Once the monster was asleep we basted it.

Tomorrow is the Roswell Quilt Show. Maybe if we get home early enough I will get her on to quilting it, but its a long drive, so maybe not. But Saturday for sure.

Quilt School Day One

Remember when I shared recently about getting ready to teach KT how to quilt. She had some old rusty skills. We polished those off today and added a whole load of new skills.....

She learned to cut.

She flew through the sewing.

She was giddy about chain piecing.

She learned to press and pin.

And looky what she made TODAY. During naptime and after the kid went to bed. Yep Yep. I'm proud, and we are going to baste tomorrow, and get quilting!

Baby Bubbles

I'm BACK! The monster and I made it home yesterday. I have a stuffy nose, and he has a new sassy mouth.

Here is a new quilt. A gift for one of those December nieces. I named it Baby Bubbles.

The bridal shower I threw went well. I will share photos soon.
