FO: Mustang apron

Thanks for your kind words on my Grenada photos. I'm sure I'll share a few more in the next few weeks. I whipped up a quick project this weekend, when my Cotton + Steel preorder arrived from Pink Castle. I decided to immediately cut into it. I've got a lot of projects in the works, so a larger project just isn't possible right now. But this apron gave me the gratification I needed!

It's a gift for Amanda, since she's vending at both LeakyCon and DragonCon very soon. You may remember this one I made for myself when I participated in a craft fair. The pattern is from Ruby Star Wrapping. For Amanda's, I used two Cotton + Steel prints, and I included the selvage:

I thought the message that Melody Miller used was very fitting for Amanda. I know she will be successful at her conventions!

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!
