The "Almost" Famous Christmas Apron

I hadn't made one for 2 years, but I had a request for another.

Yes, my regular readers know what is on the other side of this very pretty Christmas apron.

A little naughty Alexander Henry fabric to jazz up this reversible Christmas apron.

This makes #4 and I still haven't made myself one.

The first time I made this apron I called it "Not Your Grandma's Apron" but I've been thinking about that and I'm pretty sure at least one of my Grandmas would have worn this on the naughty side all the time.

Her name was Grandma Lucille.  

I'm thinking I'll write up a tutorial and call the apron Lucille.

Complete with a baseball bat (barbed wire and all) on one side and a little Alexander Henry fabric on the other, it will be a little naughty on both sides and still a sweet little apron for me. 

 Grandma would love it!!!

This really is the last post for 2016.  I don't think I can finish anything else,

Happy New Year!!!

Down the Dyeing Path - Comes Home

My little quilt came home today after much adventure.

Down the Dyeing Path,
a quilt I made in 2012

was used in an instructional video on
iquilt.com

The course is 
Full Spectrum Dyeing by Cindy Lohbeck.

What a compliment it was when Cindy contacted me last summer and asked if she could use my quilt in her video.

This picture is from the preview of the class and there is my quilt,
 Down the Dyeing Path,
right there!!

The inspiration for the quilt came from a fabric dyeing class at my local quilt shop by Cindy.   The class was Hands on Hand Dyes and I did the Full Spectrum Playgrounds Kit.  I had never dyed fabric before and loved doing it.

Cindy makes dyeing fabric so easy and is a great teacher.

Now you can take her class at home!!
(You know I will)

Cindy took the quilt on a promotional tour for her class 

and

now it is back to hang in my sewing room.

(No more adventure) lol

Welcome Home.

Thank you, Cindy, for taking such good care of my quilt and for the opportunity to see her on the big screen computer. 
 What a beautiful treat and honor!

I made a huge (to me) quilty purchase yesterday, so between the quilt coming home and my soon to be announced purchase,
 I'm calling this post my Friday finish!!!!!!!!!

Oh the suspense....lol
