This is a book I picked up recently. Ginger was the name of my oldest Preschool crush. Incidentally, it was also the name of our cat Reagan before we found out she was a he. The pictures inside are really sweet and I will be scanning them in all week.
This one is a little different from the earlier apron in that it is an embroidered basket and not a pocket. I love the spilling of the flowers.

Try your best to match up the flowers. I was able to catch the basket edge to help guide you.

In the upper corner of the pattern I spied this darling curtain trimmed in flowers.
Love this test design.

Playing around with embroidered images myself these days. A current work in progress. More fabric bins.
I found this vintage baby quilt top at the flea market and although it was in bad shape the embroidery work is beautiful.
I couldn't beat the price or the images.
You can see how faded the fabric is on the left lower corner.
Think of all the bins I can make out of these? Maybe a few pillows too.
Over the weekend another blogger asked about this sweet laundry cart that was gifted to me by the sweet Renee of Sewn with Grace.
(Excuse the thread. I have been sewing all day.)
I adore it and use it to hold fabric that I am currently working with.
Thanks for all the comments and questions. I hope to be listing more items by the end of the week.
That baby quilt is just darling and I can definitely see its sweet potential. I'm glad you were able to rescue it. Love, love, love the laundry cart.
ReplyDeletePS. We're back home. 1500 miles in 4 days. Whew.
1. I mailed your package today and can't wait to see what you do with that Startex! 2. That is one of my all-time favorite apron patterns. 3. In what is surely a very odd coincidence, I also had a cat named Ginger whom we later discovered was a he (him?) - but we just kept the name.
ReplyDeleteOK....now I need you to send me your craft room please! lol :):) Sandy

I bet you were tickled pink and blue to find that little blankie! Fun Find! Have fun but don't forget the ergonomic rules; move one time every hour for 10 minutes! I learned the hard way with pinched sciatica.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of laundry baskets like yours, but none with that cute little clothespin pocket..adorable!
ReplyDeleteso much cuteness!! love it!!
ReplyDeleteRenee, I had the most fun visiting your studio for the Where Women Create day. Relatives visiting has delayed my own post. Your fabric bag is so sweet, I can't wait to see the ones you make with the vintage quilt. The Scotties are calling my name! Always inspiring here! Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteLove the baby quilt! It reminds me of one I did for my daughter over twenty-four years ago for her crib. It's still around somewhere, but it's in bad shape too, as she carried it around for years. If I find it, I'll send you piccy's.
ReplyDeleteI love your laundry cart, but I'll send you an image of mine, too. We are so much alike my sister from another mother.
Hugs,
Meri
