That's the sweetest complement one can get....
One of my students, the ever joyful Loreen....

left me a "Thank You" card after taking my beginner's quilting class (sorry Loreen, I didn't notice it until just recently)... and thank you to you to...
...and doesn't it just match the project colours she chose...

Pat, the faithful homework doer...

Was very pleased with her completed project... wouldn't you be... lovely, just lovely...

After I made this Christmas apron... a friend saw the second one I was making in red....
...and asked me if I would make another because she'd like "two red please"...
...same green straps... I love that these are very adjustable for size at the neck area.. (we small breasted chicks sometimes need to be able to "snug it up")....

Ample back ties...
...and just like my last one... did you notice that I actually fussy cut my pockets so you can't tell there's a pocket there (except for the ruffle of course)...
I'm not a big fan of doing commissioned items because as soon as I know "I have to do it", then I seem to not have fun anymore... I like creating what I want, when I want, because then I can design on the fly...
... but it did turn out rather nice, very sophisticated with the fabric choice....
...and it's completely reversible, just no pockets on this side, but wrap the straps, and voila!...
But, I've been asked for the pattern, so perhaps, when I have free time and I'm not feeling "pressured" into doing it, I might write one up, but that means I'll need to make another one so I can take photos of the progress, and to tell you exactly what I do...
But for now... I'm going to be creating a couple of things just because I feel like it (not to mention that I've had it sitting designed in my computer for a year or so)...
Stay tuned...
Live, love & laugh!
Hugs....Heather

Dear Sis,
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and thoughtful of one of your students to leave a thank you card.
Congratulations to them all for their lovely projects.
I do like that read starry seasonal fabric, I cannot say that I wish I had some.....as I do.. tee hee
It has turned out very nice as an apron and the green sets it off nicely, giving it a classical look!
I wish you luck in finding the time to do your new designs.
Hugs
Theresa
Absolutely adore the red and green combo,especially the dotted green. A plain green wouldn't have had the same effect.

Hats off to the great creation... The pockets are really cute... Just loved it.
