At it again!

It's very early in the morning, and I have been checking out the blogs, I was looking Shawnee's very, very cool blog, and discover that there is going to be a Easter basket swap, so of course I signed up, I just love the Easter Holiday!  I have went to Coastal Bend  Quilt and Needlework Guild Quilt Jubilee, it was wonderful to see all the beautiful quilts and needlework, I will  be posting pictures of what I  saw, there was also good shopping. I found some more  fabric that I used at the last apron swap, so I will be making me a apron, in that pretty pink, red and turquoise fabric, my trim will be a little different, can't wait to see how this apron turns out. I have been doing some community service through the Sew Guild, which, I am a member, we made some turtle pillows, I will be posting some pictures shortly.

Its Here

Its Here, Its Here, I finally got my apron, this afternoon, I was so happy to open the box, and, see such a cute apron, I was drawn to the shabby chic heart shape with eyelet trim, soooooooooooooooo pretty, I love the colors pink and green,  My tuck ins were wonderful, I got lovely potholder, a heart shape cookie cutter, recipe to some delicious chocolate chip cookies and a cutie pie clipboard, very nice.  My swap partner Amy did a fabulous job and I thank her very much,  I had fun doing this swap, I will do it again soon!

So Cold had to Sew

Well! we are having a very cold winter for South Texas, temps in the 20ies, so what's a girl to do.  I began to work on a fabric cuff, its sewn and now I am beading it, I am finding that working with beading needles is very tedious, they don't last very long, so I need to build up my stash, any way I am done and I will post of pic very soon.

Almost Done!

I am almost done with my swap apron, I finished my shift at work, last night came home had a quick meal and then I went to work on the apron, I had purchase some beautiful fabric from this quilt shop called Creations in Kerrville Texas, they had a lot apron's made in many fabrics, which was so inspiring, what's funny is that I just purchase the fabric, and then I happen to get n email about the swap so I decide why not, go for it, as I was working through the night to get most of this apron done, I will be finished tonight, what I am liking on this project is that is it making me sew and finish a project,  I am down last steps, and I have spotted a few tuck-ins the that will be fun to get!
