And Alanna’s birthday is Thursday!
Two new dresses and a blouse just for Alanna.
But I am not crazy about the two together. I think the jumper would look better with a white top.

Autumn Hot Pads
Just in time to pull that hot apple pie or cinnamon rolls from the oven… a pair of maple leaf potholders in rich autumn colors! If it doesn’t feel like fall where you live, come visit me in Wisconsin. It is fall here. Definitely wool socks weather.
I just listed these in my etsy shop. There is a custom order potholder listing, too, if you would like to have some made to match your kitchen or for yourself or a gift in Christmas fabrics! That’s coming right up, you know. Shop for handmade gifts!

My friend, Chautona, and I have been playing with some European patterns and styles. I just finished this fun new jumper and blouse for sweet Maggie:

My ladies’ Bible study group has been making these diapers for a local service project. Aren’t they adorable???
And for my DIL2B, I made a couple sets of scrubs for her work. She is a CNA at a local hospital.

This fun little quilt (35″ x 44″) is temporarily named April Showers. It’s just a top so far, and not even entirely sewn together, but I like it. I made it while I should have been sewing client orders, so “The Guilt Quilt” might have been more appropriate, but today is typically rainy and blustery. Last year on this date, we had a fairly big snowfall.

I finally got this one finished and listed for sale on eBay! You can see it HERE!
This one is 40″ x 53″ – perfect for a crib or to dress your home for spring!

I have been very busy for the past few days. In addition to some client sewing, I have finished quilting the blue and green and yellow Swedish Baskets baby quilt and a Lone Star wallhanging in addition to piecing a Trip Around the World lap quilt that I like a LOT. It’s bright colors, with an emphasis on red and pink. It started as a baby quilt, but I liked it so well, and it wasn’t really a baby quilt style… so I sewed more blocks and made it bigger.

It’s time to do dressmaking! I like dressmaking a lot – maybe even more than quiltmaking. I have a lot of red and pink stuff right now, for Valentines Day and general winter/spring wear. I am fond of toile and florals for this season. Southern Wisconsin can be pretty dreary this time of year. It doesn’t stay cold enough to maintain snow all winter – it just looks kind of dirty. Those long winters up north were VERY long and very cold, but they tended to be brighter because of the whiteness of the snow.
I am sewing for a private client this weekend, and then I will possibly list custom orders for sale from those dresses. I do enjoy the creative process of dress designing, even if I am slow at it.
