Wordless Wednesday: Kitties

FO: Painted Portrait Blouse

I finally got a chance to upload the photos my sister took of the painted portrait blouse! As you may remember, my pal Amanda and I made these together when she visited last month.

Using my favorite Indie print, purchased from Stash Fabric, I think this is the first sewn garment that I have felt truly confident about.

Amanda and I struggled with some of the process, but we persevered, and I'm so glad we did!

My sister took these photos of me at my grandparents' farm.

This place feels like home.

Jill and I can't help it. We just get.silly together. So, here's some jumping photos for your viewing pleasure. Or laughter. You pick.

Ruby Star Wrapping & an FO

Melody was so kind to give me a copy of Ruby Star Wrapping at quilt market. You may have heard about it, especially since Sukie is starting a wrap-along.

I highly recommend the book, and I made myself a little apron, using some of the treasured viewfinders. Melody shared a bit of her new crocheted trim in the perfect shade! I intend to make at least one more of these aprons, and several other projects from the book. I see an elephant softie that is calling out to be sewn!

As you're reading this, I'm wearing my little apron at a craft show, hoping to sell a few gifties!

I made a pile of drawstring bags using Jeni's pattern. And I've been collecting a few other handmade finishes to take along.

Hope your Saturday is fun! I intend to have fun with mine!
