Burp cloths and aprons

Even though I haven't been blogging a lot, there's been a lot of sewing happening.  My sister was going to a baby shower and requested a pack of neutral burp cloths since the mom wasn't finding out the gender.

 Aren't these fabrics the cutest. I got these at one of my LQS. I recently learned it is closing (Sew Smart in Doylestown for any locals) and I'm so sad. They always had the best selection of everything, but in particular, adorable baby and kid fabrics.

Some closeups.

My sister also requested a set of matching aprons for her and her son. At first I thought no problem! But then I realized how tough it was to find appropriate fabrics for mom and son to wear (son being 7). Sew Smart came through for me with this fun mushroom print.

For the pattern, I used a combination of this free Michael Miller reversible apron pattern and a favorite apron of mine for sizing.

Here are the two aprons together. They both seem happy with the results!

Some food and fabric

We've been busy this weekend with family visiting from out of town, but I just wanted to share some things.

First off, the evil that Pinterest will bring....

These blueberry muffins may have come out of my oven. I can not confirm or deny that though since there are no more in my kitchen as evidence.  The recipe is here from Smitten Kitchen. How can they not be good from a blog with such an awesome name!?



 And in the mail?

Are you familiar with Richard Scarry? I loved these books when I was little and when my little sister was young. I'm not normally into novelty fabrics, but I've been struggling with how to decorate my boy nursery. Being a book nerd, this totally spoke to me! Especially the panel that came with the FQ set.

It's supposed to be made into a book, but I'm planning on hanging them on canvas or wood or something. We'll see how it goes.

My favorite was always the worm in the apple car! It won't exactly match with the quilt I'm making, but that's okay. It's all fun.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
