I stumbled across this a couple of minutes ago. I've been hoping for a sneak peek after Sew Zanne's did the interview with Heather Ross.

It looks like there will be stripes and dots to match. Now to sit and wait for it to be put into an online market place like Cia's Palette.

WIP Friday

It was miserable photographing weather yesterday afternoon when I got home. Grey skies and darker outside than usual. However, I went ahead and took some picts of my works in progress/completed projects. Here they are...

1. An A-Z Book for K. We Live... We Learn... introduced the idea to me. Great one! I did mine a little different. I made an A-Z Book of K, his adventures, sights, etc for 2006. This will be the first photobook/scrapbook he has ever gotten. And he is the first and only child. So sad. Aren't mothers supposed to fizzle out on the second or third child's record books? lol. I used iPhoto's book maker to create it. And yes, I did it without his help because I wanted it to be a surprise for Christmas.

2. Is the third part to a belated birthday gift for a close friend. It was my first attempt at applique in years. It went rather smoothly. yeah! I hope she likes the package. I'll reveal the rest of the contents after I know she has gotten it. I used some of my Heather Ross stash. I just love her stuff and am so looking forward to her VW bus line in the spring. :-)



3. Finally... an actually WIP. lol. This scarf is loosly based on the scarf in Denyse Schmidt Quilts. It is for my sweet friend that is a breast cancer survivor. (I'm hoping she doesn't read this before I finish it.) This year at the Race for the Cure, Ford handed out pink scarves. I chopped it up and used some of it in the scarf here. The rest is from my stash. I never realized how much pink I had. I promise it looks cuter in person and in fact, I like it so much I am going to make a couple more scarves using different colors for Christmas presents. K's is going to be blue and red with an outer space flannel backing. hee hee!



4. And lastly, a big thank you to While She Naps. She gave away some of her stash of material and notions last week and I was lucky enough to get one of the packages. THANK YOU!!! I will try to take pictures of the fun stuff this weekend. There is some great shiney silver material that is just calling to be used in this project.
