It's Been Nice

Finally I have finished my apron and it has been mailed.   I cannot post a picture as my swap partner knows that she is mine.  I don't want to ruin the surprise.  I hope I meet the mustard as this is my first swap, my first time to make a full apron and my sewing machine did not want to cooperate  So this may be my last swap LOL.

Just HAD To Share


My sister bought this applique design for my sewing machine for Christmas. I just LOVE it!! It went on a kitchen towel for my swap sister, and matches her apron!! We are under a blizzard warming here in the STL area...what?? That doesn't happen around here very often. I just hope I don't lose power...because then I can't do any sewing!! So with the weather on its way, I hurried to the post office to get my apron package in the mail. Stay warm swap friends!!
