Aprons!!!

Hi, my name is Becky and I'm a fabricholic.

Well, I am.

Does anyone else have the "Whoever dies with the most fabric wins" bumper sticker?
It's on my workroom bulletin board.

This year I have been really, really really trying hard to not buy new fabric. (Not buying "new fabric" leaves a loophole for fabric buying at the thrift shops heh heh)

In keeping with my De-Stash 2010 pledge I find myself coming up with some pretty cool combos of fabric.

Last month, I participated in Yarni Gras' Pin-Ups for Hot Mamas Apron Swap.

Tons of fun! And there were so many amazing creations!!

I sent my swap partner this

and these goodies.

I was handstitching like a crazy woman. Not sure why but for some reason I wanted to do it all (almost all) by hand!

This led me to create an apron for my Sister from another Mister's birthday.
Pam is the best! So I wanted to make her a really special apron.

I embroidered this beauty using one of Jenny Hart's Sublime Stitching patterns!










This one shows the colors better.








I love a big pouffy bow!

Here's the finished apron.

My Sis loved it!!!!

Stitchin' The Day Away

Although I was so sad to hear about the Ning Pins & Needles Site closing, I am very thankful to APP and Ms Brenda for setting up this new site on Blogger for us. I really enjoy sharing and being able to see what everyone else is working on. It's so inspiring!! Plus... I'm made some awesome friends on Pins!♥ How about you?
Here is Oklahoma it's been HOT! and that has made me want to be inside where the AC is running during the afternoons, so I had been enjoying hand stitching projects like embroidery and punchneedle.
I have found a wonderful blog authored by Sue Allemand, who creates the cutest FREE stitchery patterns! What a sweetie, to share with us "stitchery junkies" for free!
Check out her blog, Free Stitchin' Patterns HERE
Hope all of you are finding some time to enjoy your favorite stitching craft.

Thanks again, APP and Ms Brenda for keeping us Pins & Needles gals together!!
