2 Quilts, a Farmhouse & an Apron

 OK....so I haven't really "quilted" 2 quilts, but I have done them in cross stitch.....that counts....right? This is the piece I've been stitching since just after Christmas. When I look at this farmhouse it makes me wish I had the ability to jump into the picture like they did on Mary Poppins. I could totally live in that farmhouse. Although, if it were my house, there would be chickens running around the front yard and my hot Cuban riding his horse in a checkered flannel shirt and jeans ...smiling at me with those big white teeth of his...and the sun is just beginning to set over the mountains..................Ahh...a girl can dream...can't she?                                                                    

OK...I'm back. Right now I'm working on the black back-stitching. It really adds such great detail. You can see the difference it makes when you look at the right-hand side compared to the left-hand side. I still have to stitch some vines around the outside edges before I frame it. It's going to hang in my entryway. I'm actually thinking of painting a quilt on the side of my garage so that it can be seen from my living room. If I ever get around to it, I'll post pics for sure :)

 I think I may have a new obsession with these labels from Sweetwater. I had to whip up another apron yesterday and I'm so excited with how much the label really "makes" the apron special. I used red and yellow fabric called "Recess" from American Jane. This apron looks so pretty just hanging in my kitchen. This one is definitely mine to keep :) I'm so in love with this pattern and the labels that I am re-thinking my apron swap plans and I've decided that I'll be making one of these for my swap partner. She wanted a Spring Cleaning apron, so I'll add a large divided pocket across the front. What are you working on today?
