A hot humid week with some wonderful rain. Storms and hail nearby but those miss us, sadly quite often the rain does too but our grass has greened up - always looks better with green grass.
I sewed up a Pinafore apron. It's a panel by Robert Kaufman with printed shapes and instructions (additional instructions on line)
Easy - made it up in a couple of hours...
This panel came from The Quilters Angel, there was also a cream background but since I am so messy in the kitchen I thought the grey was better....
I finally put the sashing and borders on this braid quilt. I have started sewing braids for the other matching one.
Hand sewing this week was making up this little needlecase....
I used an alphabet stitchery from a pattern my Michelle purchased a few years ago.... it has been a useful one to have...

It has a pocket and small piece of felt. I was annoyed that in spite of being very careful I still did not sew the patch in the middle!!! It will stay like that though.
Righto, Gotto Go - I want to fix up a pattern to make a wrap around dress for myself... FNSI tonight hosted by Wendy
Have a lovely weekend.....xx

Gorgeous Kaufman fabric and a useful piece of kit. The braids have made up beautifully, such a great design. Love the pretty needlecase too. xx
That's a fun apron - and very useful! Love your other stitching, too. We had some storms this afternoon, rain, thunder and probably lightning, the rain is certainly welcome.
Love the apron. They are so useful to have. Great finish on the braid quilt too and the wee sewing book.
The apron is wonderful Fiona - love it & how useful. I have that very same initials pattern of Michelles - it is great to use for gifts on all sorts of things. xx
Love the apron, i never think to get mine out to use. :) The braid quilt is lovely. Cute hexie needlecase.
Great apron Fiona.
The braid quilt is a fabulous finish.

Useful apron - almost too pretty to use! LOL
It's beautiful, your needle case.
And you sewed a great apron... I also made two for myself. I still have to introduce it!
You did a great job with the edging.
I wish you a nice week.
A hug comes from Viola
That is a very flash apron. You will star in the kitchen in that one. Or is it for hubby?
What a great apron. I do love the way the braid quilt has turned out. I will get around to making one, and the needle book is rather cute.
