2014 Kitchen Swap: Aprons & Bibs

Aprons & Bibs
 
My Kitchen Swap partner asked me for aprons and bibs. These are the ones I made up for her, 4 aprons and 2 bibs.
 
2 Adult Aprons
 
2 Childrens Aprons
 
2 Childrens Bibs
 
I made the Mother/Daughter aprons match by using some of the fabric from the daughters apron on the pockets as trim on the pockets of the mothers apron. Plus I used brown rick rack on the daughters apron to match her mothers apron. Both have pink and brown in their fabric designs. I chose the fabrics for these two.
 
However, the Man's and Childs aprons don't match. The mother picked out the fabric from some I had in my fabric stash for the boys apron. I also told her that I had a pre-printed John Deere apron that she okayed too.
 
Was only supposed to make up one bib. But, I made up two of them because I wasn't sure of the sizing for her baby girl. One is long and one is short. They are made out of a pink background flannel fabric. I picked this fabric out because of its pink background and because of the polka dots, which sorta match the mother/daughters aprons. The  little pups are a plus... After all, who doesn't like cute little Scottie dogs?

    You do lovely work, Peggy - your aprons and bibs are great! I love that pink Scottie fabric (who doesn't like cute Scottie dogs indeed!) and I really like that crabs fabric - is that the kiddy apron that has gardening things appliqued/embroidered on the original? If so, I've made many of those, and I usually add a pocket to the front as well :D

Stringing Quilt Blocks

Stringing 2 Quilt Blocks Stringing quilt blocks isn't as hard as one may think it is to do.  (You can click on the photos to enlarge them and to reduce them back to their original size or hit return if that doesn't work for you to down-size them) First of all, is the preparation, cutting the pieces of fabric up... I'm working with Half Square Triangles (HST) for making each of these two 12.5 inch quilt blocks. I'm using two different methods to make the pink quilt block up. I'll be working with both 4" and 8" fabric squares to do same. For the one with the PINK print:  I'll be using four 4" squares of pink fabric and four 4" squares of white fabric. Plus one piece of white fabric 8" square and one piece of black fabric 8" square.  From these, I'm going to end up with 16 HST's 3.5" square. For the one with the YELLOW fabric, I'll be working with one piece of yellow fabric 8" square, one pi

My "Pat Sloan's Grandma's Kitchen Challenge"  Quilt Blocks  #'s 1 to 13 (Half-way done)      Working on 25 free quilt blocks from Pat Sloan on Facebook in her "Grandma's Kitchen Challenge."  Adding them as I complete them. Expect to be using some ladybugs and polka dot fabrics on most of them.      The block sizes are 12.5" x 12.5" unless noted otherwise. They'll finish off to 12 inches square when sewn into a quilt or the like. Been adding a white border to the smaller blocks in this series to enlarge them to this size.      Every Wednesday Pat lists a different block for us to do. For more info on the challenge and these blocks, go to Pat's website, www.patsloan.com and follow the link there for her Facebook web pages and for this challenge ,which started up in June, 2017.  Will try to get back here every week for the rest of the blocks as I make them up.      I bought a couple of Pat's quilting books from Am

XL Zipper Covered Pillows

MY OVERSIZED PILLOWS Came across a sale on 30" fluffy white pillow forms/inserts recently which could have several uses such as bed pillows or as pet pillows and the like which needed to be covered.  Added some tie strings to one of them to make the pillow a wee bit firmer which reduced the pillow to 26" in size.     Started this 26" zippered pillow cover with a 12.5" red white and blue star quilt block for its center block.  Then added a dozen assorted 6.5" football shaped red "orange peel blocks" to it, which made the pillow cover just about 24.5 inches. Which I increased by two inches simply by adding a light blue one inch border to increase it for the final 26" completed size. I backed the pillow with a large 3 tone blue diamond shaped print. I added a 20" zipper to the bottom of the pillow cover so I could remove it and for washing purposes seeing that the pillow itself seemed probably too big to thr
