August finished projects

When I posted the July projects, I said that August would be a better month for sewing, and I was right! I actually finished more items, but the camera battery died while I was taking pictures, so I will show them in another post.

The first two pictures are items made entirely from leftovers from previous projects,and will be donated to a local charity that raises funds for breast cancer patients. There are 3 trivet/potholders, and a small table runner.

This table runner is a bit larger than the previous one, and will be a gift. Perfect for fall colors!

This is an apron for Jacki to wear when she is teaching. I embroidered school related designs on the pockets. No pattern for this one. I looked at some pictures and figured it out on my own.



I made myself a shirt out of this fabric early in the summer, and had some left, so I made Jacki a shirt also. It's hard to see, but there is a Vshaped cutout at the neckline.

I actually made Jacki this apron for her birthday back in the spring, but never got a picture of it. She is showing off the cake she made for Grandma Lynda, (my mom) for her birthday.

My mom with the tote bag I made her. The blue square on the front is actually a pocket, and I embroidered it with a fern design to match the print on the lighter fabric.

These are kitchen sized towels, embroidered with various designs. I am thinking of keeping the tan one, and the other two will go into the gift box.




Saving the best for last, David and Emily's wedding quilt is finished! I put it on our bed to take the picture. I made pillow shams to match. I hope they enjoy using it, as much as I enjoyed making it.
