The "Reunion" Quilt

Just in time, the quilt I've been working on for the family reunion auction is finally done - Yeah!  I don't even have to stay up until 2:00am the night before we leave to finish it.  I really liked how it turned out:


The colored stripes are from the fabric line, Reunion by Sweetwater for Moda.  Perfect for our reunion auction. 




So to my family:  Pull out your wallets and get ready to bid.  I just know whoever has the winning bid is going to enjoy wrapping up in the corner of their couch thinking fondly of memories that were made at our reunion.   I have a wonderful family and can't wait to spend time with them. 

Christmas Apron

Since the first apron turned out so cute I thought I would make another one for the family
reunion auction that would work as a Christmas gift.


Who wouldn't want a cute apron that say "HO HO HO" at Christmas time?
Then I placed it in the jar:


Doesn't that make it all the more fun?   Now to figure out what recipe I will attach - hmmm!
I also decided to put the first apron in a canister instead of a jar.



I thought the flamingos added to the fun bright colors of the apron.  What fun summer recipe should I attach to this one?

Apron in a Jar



I've been working on a few projects for the auction at our family reunion next week.  I found this cute apron pattern #3752 by Simplicity and decided to try it.  I think it turned out cute - even if my model wouldn't let me post a pic of her face.  Then my model saw this Pin of Apron in a Jar from Jodi at Pleasant Home and the cute apron became this:



Now I just need to pick a yummy recipe and a cute ribbon to attach and hopefully someone at the reunion will find it as cute as do.  Now on to finish my other projects.
