saintjudeSALE

What a nice feeling you get when you can use your sewing talent to help others.
My friends in Baton Rouge are big supporters of Saint Jude Children's Hospital. Saint Jude's Hospital will treat any child with cancer, never asking if you have money to pay or not. The staff there is heaven sent!
Now on to the sale. The nice folks in Baton Rouge have a craft sale in November to raise money for the hospital and all it's supporting local clinics.
Needless to say if there is a craft sale I am willing to help. So I made some cute children's aprons with Maisy fabric and some out of duck cloth. The duck cloth is unbleached so they can be painted or embellished for a personal touch. Saints pillowcases since we are in LA. and Smart Bags that are the perfect size for paperbacks, DVD's, Bible, gym bag etc.


The quilt pictures are the back of my Reindeer and Snowflake quilt. My longarm Princess Jody used a pale blue thread on the back to highlight the Blowing Snow longarm pattern. I don't know which side is my favorite!
Oops, forgot to mention the Christmas aprons!

skilletPIE

Skillet Apple Pie
I love a new recipe almost as much as I love new fabric. This is a simple recipe I found in the Sept. issue of Southern Living magazine.
Mark sliced up the apples using my PC apple peeler, corer, slicer. Apples ready in minutes.

Bake right in the pan

With an entire stick of butter, how can you go wrong????

Snowflakes and Reindeer one made for Brandi and Richard to donate to the church auction in December.
Snowflakes in flannel for the back.
Two borders to frame

Three borders on the second quilt. May as well make two while I am at it.

6BLOCKS

All six blocks are sewn and ready for placement. Brandi can arrange the blocks to suit her, when she is visiting. Borders will be added and then off to the longarm shop. I am thinking blowing snow longarm pattern for this.
I plan to finish up in time for vacation delivery in Oct.
