Today I'm going to set up my craft booth. I've been working like crazy the last few weeks trying to make enough items to put in there. Emily has been helping quilt some of the blankets I've made, and my sister-in-law has made a few things to put in there as well. I should have close to twenty items to start out with. I'll have three quilts, and Emily is nearly done with a fourth, and a couple of potholder sets, four table runners, two tote bags, an apron, a couple of teddy bears, maybe a doll or two, an afghan, and a pillow.
Here are a few of the things I've made recently. The first is a tote bag. It's an apple basket pattern, and it's made of denim. It's got a red gingham lining. This is probably my favorite of everything I've made so far:
This is one that Emily hand-pieced a long time ago, and never finished. She gave me the blocks. I had to fix one that had a stain on it, and re-do a piece that had pieced wrong, and then I put them together with borders, put it together, and handquilted it. Most of the time I piece and she quilts, but we switched places this time around. I had fun quilting it, actually. I might save out a few projects to hand-quilt myself.
This is just a simple quilt that I did all on machine. I thought it turned out pretty cute, though.
This is a just-for-fun patchwork apron I made. I don't know if it will appeal to anyone, but I had fun making it.
