FNSI

Finally, It's FRIDAY!!! Oh, how I've been waiting for you..  and It's my first FNSI.. My sister C has been doing them for months..SEW, I have the weekend off *happy dance* Very excited about the weekend.. maybe its because the weather has been so nice here. Around 75* today and it looks like its going to stay for awhile.  Tomorrow is the Weis/Zappa St. Joesph's Day Celebration. I'd never heard of St. Joesph's Day until I met my husband. more explanation on St. Joesph's Day Hubby's mom Kathy asked me to make aprons for those who make the rice fritters and soup. I was on retreat last weekend with mom, sister C and Kim and well didn't get to Everything I wanted. Such is life, Right? So, tonight was for me to quickly work on the aprons. .I was going to make them mind you using tea towels in the appropriate colors (red,white and green) but, lost misplaced the pattern...

I bought prem-ade aprons in red & green.. some ric rac and puff paint... Here's what I did..

For Auntie Barb

the one for me..

the one for Beth

the one for my mother in law- I think its my favorite..

And remember I'll be giving away some fabric that I used in the Star Quilt I did at retreat.. All you have to do is follow me and let me know what I can do change/better.. :) I want your opinion!!!

Don't eat the Cheese...

Sew.. Yesterday I had the WHOLE DAY to sew.. Brian went to help his parents..  So, it was just the pups and I.. :) I did sew but that was after.. I scooted around pinterest for awhile and got so totally inspired to make great things..   I wish I would have stopped and took pictures and I will go back to take pictures.. I WILL!   I started by cutting the fabrics I had gotten for the Simply Triangles quilt I'm going to attempt to do cause T wants one in purples for her daughter.. :) I CAN do it!!

I love the fabrics I got for this project.. expecially the pinks. But, I've always been a color kinda girl..    Sew, after a lunch of pasta (love my carbs), alfradio sauce (husbands dislikes) and parmasan cheese (something I should have checked the date on before eating) I went back down to start cutting and sew....

I got through cutting my 1 1/2'' strips of the pink, blue and part of the green to realise that the 2 greens between the light and dark are the same shade.. I need to fix that, ugh! so.. Not that I dont want to go back to the fabric store which I'm indifferent about I texted my sister C asking her if she had a mid-light green color.. next I'll ask mom.. Then, I'll revisit the fabric store..  After cutting and breaking up a few dog fights (they are puppies and they will play) I started working on the flying geese for Jazz's Project.. The book I'm working out of has a away of making thses flying geese like I've not done before.. Its really slick..

Sew.. after getting very close to being done with the slick flying geese I felt super sick.. I'm not going to go into much detail about this but to say.. Don't eat the cheese.. I should have checked the date on the cheese (which hubby did when he got home last night.. April 2011 was the date on the cheese) Bad, I know..

Sew, I didn't get as much done as I would have liked BUT, next weekend is retreat.. Can't wait and I have sew much to do. :)

Happy Sewing to you..
