Reading....

Yeah, instead of cleaning my house or working on a new quilt I am reading...who could resist all the lovely inspiration...

As I've been on holiday for the last bit I am taking a rest but I should be back to work soon.

Starburst

Another day another star block.

This is called the QNM Star and it was designed by Carol Doak for Quilters Newsletter Magazine.  

Friday finish of Aprons

These aprons turned out so well.

I think the little one is tiny.  My husband wanted to know if it was for a doll.  It is only 13 inches from top to bottom but that is what Melanie asked for...

Friday baking with Meyer lemons

I purchased a bag of Meyer lemons from the local Co-op store.  They were beautifully done up in bags and came all the way from New Zealand.  How could I say no.  Then I began searching for a recipe for a cake....

Here's what I made...
Tastes as good as it looks.  It didn't stay whole long.
If you'd like the recipe leave a comment and I will email it to you.

More Apron posts

I just take a bit of time every day or two and do a little bit on this project...

This is for the littlest girl...sooo cute....

And this is for big sister...

Back to the Little Apron Project

The cuteness continues.  Me being me I have to change up every pattern so these little aprons will be a variation on the one Melanie had in mind.  Shhh, I'll tell her later...

OK, so the parts are cut out exactly like the one I am copying but who knows from here.

More Little Apron Project

This is such a cute project.  I spent some time pressing a starching the fabric Melanie and I bought at Jo-Ann's.  What could be cuter than wise owls for little girls cooking.

So I cut the skirts and started playing with the trim...
