Neat apron Marion, neat covering that area with that large pocket & some appliqued fabric.

I made my first 2 baby burp cloths. I have had that green flannel since around 2004, the ABC flannel was bought about 5 or 6 years ago. The yellow & blue I have had for years too, just waiting to be used.

That floral piece I have had for about 3 years, I keep using small sections of it. I used that large square to practice using my quilting foot to quilt some grids. It is not finished yet, I am going to use it to make something else. it's a secret.

I actually got in some sewing this week I made this for the Ozark Piecemaker's Quilt Show silent auction ... I hope it sells

It was fun and fast ... and THANKS JAYARDI for the confidence in your free-motion class last retreat ... I did the quilting on this all myself, and I wasn't even scared

Every bit of it was from stash

I'd like to name this one "Lori's girls" ... but alas, I named it something else

,.. those Chicks are wonderful - someone with class and good taste will want that ... very nice.

...and Miss Lens ..those are some nice burp cloths. Isn't it fun getting to use up stuff for a good thing like that? Who are these for, anyone in particular?

Here's another completed flannel quilt that started out as a panel (all the little square flannel and chennille patches) that I added a border to and quilted during our great heat wave!

Just finished quilting and binding this Disappearing 9 Patch stashbuster I made earlier. It is a full size bed quilt and I quilted it on my regular machine.

So nice to think that there will be another quilt to put on one of the beds when (not "if")the cold weather comes!

Here's a view of the back:

.... wow -very pretty - both sides ... good job Pat.

Another apron from a jeans pantleg. This is also on Sew and Tell with a closeup of the embroidery.

....oh .. way too cute ...

What cute aprons.

Pat, how do you do it all?? You turn out quilts by the dozen and you quilt bed sized quilts on your regular sewing machine. Guess I'm just a clutz/

Spent the day working with 9 YO DGD on a fabric storage box with pockets and zippers. My job was to "instruct", cut and keep us on track with the directions (not necessarily in that order) She put in two zippers - good job too We didn't get it done before she had to leave but will finish the next time she is here. I donated two zippers - does that count for "stashbusting"

....royalboomer I vote YES on those zippers ..

Ohhhh, Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. What AM I going to do with you???

How 'bout putting my name on the stashbusting list? That was ALL stash... I even got into Precious' stash for the little shell eyes

FloridaFarmGirl- you're so kind! Two words explain how I can quilt a large quilt on my regular machine- 505 spray!!! It's amazing!!! Using it, I don't pin or baste my quilt "sandwich" at all before or during my quilting and it stays in place without bunching!!

It feels good actually getting some quilts completely finished instead of packed away as UFOs!!

I love the aprons Marion2, may I steal your idea???

But, of COURSE!! Making an apron from jeans is not MY original idea anyway. Let us see pics!

Used stash to make some baby bibs and oven dresses.

Love the other projects that I am seeing.

really like the jeans aprons - may try one of those

So....not only the zippers - but I did get my BOM block done.....instead of the suggested small blocks I added some of the blocks I had started for the Sylvia blocks that will never end up being finished

Kjstrouble, hope you do well at the sale. Great items.

Dug out a copy paper box marked rwb for pillowcases. Here are some of the items from that along with items left from other projects... Chris

Some more... Chris

And the rest of them done today... Chris

I love those RWB pillowcases & another cute denim apron. Those BOM blocks look great, that will make a wonderful quilt, love those fabrics too.

Kjstrouble, cute oven door dresses. Did you design that pattern yourself? I like the collar finishing. I was recently given an ice cream tub full of buttons.

I made more burp cloths. I now have 8 made. need to make a few more girly ones. All the backs of my burp cloths were done in the ABC flannel that I bought few years ago when the fabric store was closing. I bought it to use as a quilt back but later discovered that it had several noticable "flaws" in it. Funny how these flaws are not noticable BEFORE we buy it. Anyway, by using it for the burp cloths I could cut around those spots & get full use of the good areas.

These cloths look so cute tied up into a bundle, perfect to put with a shower gift.

I enjoyed making these, & they were a great way to use up flannel I had stashed away to make a scrappy flannel quilt.

...Very cute burp cloths - and those things come in so handy for more than just 'burps' ... I had some that fit right inside a night diaper when my son was around a year old ... it's a great gift.
And great use of that STASH of flannel!

The sock monkeys are just too cute... chris

Here's the only picture of my July efforts. I am teaching a sewing class for 3 women and 4 girls each week. The first week they made pillow cases, the 2nd week they made bags like these and this week they are making pj bottoms - but those don't count because we had a field trip to Joann Fabrics and they bought their own w/ my 20% coupon.

... that is really nice - and certainly special for those in your class... thank you for doing that.

my pictures are too big...I lost the site that I used to use to resize pictures when my computer crashed. can anyone direct me to such a site?

... do you have PAINT? Just open a pic there, resize - may take a couple of tries - I used the pixel count at around 400 -450 ... name it, and save to your pics program.

couldn't get paint to work. will try this other site I found. I didn't realize I had one block turned wrong until it was already patially quilted. I didn't have time to rip it apart so I finished it off and my daughter loves it anyway. It really shows up in the picture. She also got two other baby quilts that I finished ( that don't have mistakes, lol)

whoops I forgot the picture

this was the 2nd baby quilt I finished in July. I had the panel of alphabet animals for a couple of years and all the rest is also stast except I bought a piece for the backing

I am glad that I will be able to post pictures again. I love seeing what others have been working on
