Baby Blanket

Here's another one - very similar to the blanket I made last month.
Again, the size is about 36" × 36". Batting is layered between flannel pieces within the stitched circles, but the middle of the blanket has no batting.

Baby Blanket

I made another baby blanket for another expecting friend. It's a receiving size: about 36" × 36". This pattern simply calls for two pieces of flannel stitched together, with quilt batting between the layers within the stitched circles. The middle of the blanket has no batting and is just thin and cozy.

Emily's Apron

This apron was a gift to my sister Emily for her birthday last August. I never got a chance to photograph her in it until this month. Here she is, just two days before her wedding and cute as can be.

The apron is reversible.



I made my own bias tape for the pockets as well.

Brian's Apron

I made this apron for Brian in March. It is blue striped seersucker, cut on bias. There is a special pocket for his meat thermometer, as well as a towel loop to his right side, which you can't see very well.

At Last, an Apron

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted here! I did make one other apron this winter; photos are on the way. For now, a birthday gift for my friend Carolina. It's a reversible apron made from 100% cotton.



As you can see, I played with appliqué some more. I made my own bias strips for the pocket tops as well. The purple side looked a little boring, so I also made a rosette pin to perk it up.

The rosette is based on an idea from Last-Minute Fabric Gifts by Cynthia Treen.
