I haven't been sewing that much this week. Instead, I've been doing some relaxing and also some planning on my quilts.
I've been looking through my older magazines.
and I found this idea for a setting for Angela's quilt. (I still haven't worked on the Feathered Star - but I will!!) I could put that feathered star in the middle and the other stars around. Yes, this could work.
and while I'm just showing pictures, I'll show you this apron I made for my daughter for her birthday.
I loved the fabric with the oranges! And since is was for my "artist" I got to go a little wild with the black and white squares, polk-a-dots and rick-rack.
And while we are on the subject of rick-rack, I have to tell you a little funny. The first time I said "rick-rack" my 15 year old, laughed and ran to the computer and looked the word up. She thought for sure I had just made the word up!!!
Happy August Sewing,
Linda

Rick - rack it is a funny word. You know how sometimes if say a word too many times it doesn't sound like a word anymore? This is one of those words for sure.
ReplyDeleteI guess our generation had strange words, well maybe several generations before us. Like the orange and black apron, bet your daughter does too.
ReplyDeleteI guess rick-rack isn't in the younger generation's vocaulary - they just don't know what they are missing - lol. Great apron!
