Wild Things

I had a request for a job a few weeks ago.  It was a job that needed to be done quickly, as she had an event that the aprons were needed for.  Her business is a custom designed scrapbooking thingie (I work in fabric, not paper, so it's out of my element).  The customer was wanting her logo to be appliquéd in animal prints and embroider her logo on a denim apron.  

Checking out the spacing

The Happy customer

 The appliqué turned out very clean and I really like the way the animal prints pop on the blue.  The ruffle was a little added to touch that appeases the girly-girl that lives inside this sharp woman.

I'm excited to do more applique, it's like coloring, except I get to use fabric instead of crayons.    

Which Witch is complete

I felt like I was going to die if I didnt drop everything and play with some thread.  I am so excited about this project.  Its a pattern I bought at the quilt show in houston by crazyoldladies.blogspot.com. its called WhichWitch.  I am so excited to play with scraps.  I love applique, its like coloring without the crayons.

The quilt label

Although I am not a huge orange and purple fan, this quilt was so stinkin' cute that I had to make a mini-verison for myself before I sent the big one off to my sister.  This measures about 16 inches x 16 inches, and I took this shot because it made me laugh.  Putting that top row on upside down was just the funniest thing.  Lucky for me corrections were very easy to do!

Today's project

After 3 years of sitting in a plain stadium chair we will finally sit in high style this year. 2 layer applique in vinyl on canvas. GO MARCUS!!!
