This is my new apron for my upcoming class. It's made with Briar Rose fabric and this pattern.
It's quick and simple--about one hour of sewing time--and it would make great Christmas gifts. The pattern fits a small or medium sized gal.
What about you? Are you working on something?

Welcome to SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY!
I have been working on something fun for my friend, Kim! These blocks are from this lovely book by Eleanor Burns. Eleanor was my quilting teacher many years ago on PBS. She is just a funny, charming woman who really knows how to teach people to quilt.
The block on the left is called Broken Dishes and the one on the right is Melon Patch. Both were fun to do up, and are made with Scrumptious.

My favorite time to take picture is in fall. I just love to see the leaves change their colors!
This year I went to Aspen and to the Maroon Bells to take pics. It was a lovely day with a good friend. Such a blessing!
I love these thistle (?) plants. Such a pretty purple:
And I managed to photograph some good bokeh. That was my goal!!!:Just driving was beautiful. This is Independence Pass:
I love the crazy sunshine rays:
And, of course, the leaves.
It was a lovely day!!!

Welcome to SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY, friends!
I am so excited to show you my finished Pow-Wow quilt.
This one was very fun to make and I love how it came out. This is my first "guy" quilt, and the colors were a lot more fun to play around with than I expected them to be.
Linen is the background and binding fabric. I was going for a darker frame, and it seems to work, but I forgot that the linen binding will stretch a bit, so that was a tiny challenge. Nothing the recipient will notice! :)
I used one of the 23 camera prints as the backing, and a Glimma stripe for the outer border.
As usual, I can't post a quilt without a binding picture:
A little close-up:
Next on my to-do list is my curtains and the XO quilt. I am looking forward to both of those. And then? I get to start some new projects.
So much to look forward to!
