My friend that did the road trip where I found the pattern and material for the first posted one gave me material to make more. Her material came from a trip to Korea where her son is serving in the U.S. Airforce there. It has words to but things like chicken and sauté. I am not sure which aprons I like more but I think these black ones are maybe more of a favorite of mine. Only two of these. Pattern is called Mon and Me ?Aprons and came in 3 sizes but I only made the large one . atkinsondesigns.com

Scrap Buster

Update here as I found the name of the vest panels. I used two panels and they were called County Bears At Heart Kid's Vest. Designed by Leslie Beck. This lap quilt was longarm quilted by Karen Marchetti. This quilt made from the beginnings of the 365 quilt a pattern on-line from Austria whereby you made a quilt square each day for a year. I made it though the first week of March 2016. I didn't know what I would do with them so set them aside thinking maybe I'd finish it sometime. Not Likely. LOL! Then this year I decided I needed to rid myself of things I have brought home from church that have been donated. Mega stack of vest panels had these at least 7 years now. So this is made from the 365 items I finished and two vest panels. The large part of the quilt is the back of each vest, the rest cut up to fit in between my 365 squares which were 3 inches square. I added some other stash to enlarge the quilt to be a lap quilt or a wall hanging and the back was matching material sort of from church stash also. I purposely put one vest back upside down so if on the lap you see one right side up and a person looking at you sees the other large part right side up. I find I like it and putting in the craft church sale but may purchase it back myself.

Kitchen Towels

I have been sewing all summer as so hot here in Florida didn't want to be outside. I took a break from quilts and craft project though. I had my attachments on my sewing machine for embroidery work. I use Anita Goodesign software to make these kitchen or bar towels. I will keep them for exchange gifts at Christmas time; but they may find their way into my kitchen if I don't put them away soon. LOL! Towels were BOGO at local store. I used NO SHOW stabilizer on the back of towels and HEAT N GONE (looks like plastic wrap, warm iron melts this) The Heat n Gone used to prevent needle from nagging loose woven material and terry towels. 1

Christmas Pillow

While I had my embroidery machine running I made this pillow also. This software was with my machine. I made one similar with a green background framed in red a few years back, but I like this one on the beige pillow better. It really pops the colors out with the beige. This will be donated to the church craft sale. The machine does such nice things but I like to sew better, Once you hoop your item you just watch and change thread colors, it is nice break from sewing; but sort of boring to me. Hubby got me the machine though so I feel I need to use it now and then. Pillow was a purchase from my local sewing shop made especially for fitting into my embroidery hoop.

Dinner Basket Warmer

I needed a covering for my bread basket I use for me dinners I serve to friends and family. So used a large linen napkin and crated some things off my embroider machine., It is seasonal so can be used year round.

Christmas Table Cloth

Needed a small table covering for my small round glass dining table. This is square so could be a card table cover too. Just a piece of red material and framed with a couple of fat quarter prints, cut in 2 1/2 strips.

Gone Fishing

This could be a bed runner, table runner or dresser cover as it is extra long. It is also reversible. I used the Bear Fishing Fabric to be a back of a apron and wanted to just get this material out of my stash. Found a matching palate print so this can be used on the back side too. Will donate to craft church sale.

Halloween Door Panel

This was two printed vest panels. I cut them up to make this Halloween Door hanging or your wall. Sorry I cut off the maker of these but have had them for a long time. I carefully machine stitched about all the printed designs, witches, pumpkins. It was labor intensive for sure.
