I'm guest blogging at Sew We Quilt today and my tutorial is a tea towel apron.
The 2 aprons are sewn following the same tutorial.
They can be tied at the front or the back
and the straps can be sewn to the back or the front of the apron bodice.
2 different looks with simple changes.
The toweling and the coordinating fabrics are from Moda
My friend Cori has an online fabric shop in Canton Michigan and
and she has the toweling at her Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop.
She currently has 18 different choices of tea toweling available
and she is always adding more to her shop.
You will find Cori's prices and customer service simply the best.

...and now I promised a little show and tell...
I've finished a few UFO's...the first one has been quilted for a number of years
and just needed the binding.
The fabric is Lightning Bugs by Heather Ross
the back is Kona cotton and I think the color is sky.
I used a two sided binding.
It was machine quilted by Liz Bowman, Milan Michigan.
The next quilt needed just the binding also
and it, too, was quilted by Liz Bowman.
The third quilt is a small lap quilt, also pieced years ago...
... it was a quilt top used to practice long arm quilting on my Gammill.
It is a simple meandering and any little girl would love to cuddle with it.
The binding is on and I now have 3 finished UFO's...I'm pretty happy.
I have 2 more of the princess quilts that just need the binding.
They were quilts used to practice meandering on the long arm.
I think I will use a 2 sided binding on them.
I am really liking the 2 sided binding...
...the quilts are about 30" by 36"...a nice lap quilt for a little girl.
They will be donation quilts...now I want to make 3 boy ones.

Beautiful little quilts! I know you said we didn't need to follow to enter your giveaway but I had a look around and really like your blog... So I'm your newest follower! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the HR quilt!
ReplyDeleteIf I was lucky enough to win I would ask you to choose for me because I like them both!!

ReplyDeleteBoth aprons are sooo cute. I would choose the Granny Garden. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI just sewed up an apron using your tutorial. I used a purchased dish towel I had on hand. It was so quick and easy using your instructions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win Granny's Garden & Amelia fabrics for your fantastic aprons. I love them both! Thanks for the tutorial over a Sew We Quilt!
ReplyDeletewould love to win the green combo! it's a great tut over at sew we quilt ... nice to have a great quick pattern for gifting. thanx for the chance to win this neat little kit.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the apron tutorial Pauline. Thank you so much. I explained over at SewWeQuilt so I'll condense here but, these aprons are awesome because it will be awesome to make along with my tea towels I already give as gifts with machine embroidery on them. I can make the apron and towels to match as an even better gift.
ReplyDeleteI really love the Moda's Pastel Plaid and Hideaway fabric choice. I will defintely keep your friends shop for the time I am able to buy the toweling. I've been thinking of buying it by the yard instead of buying the towels themselves to embroidery.
This is such a cute apron and a great tutorial. Thanks for the inspiration. I love the Granny Garden and Amelia fabric. I have been a loyal follower for some time--love your blog. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed your tutorial, Pauline. These aprons are lovely and would be fun to make.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Thank you for the tutorial, very clear instructions. My Mom will love this apron.
ReplyDeleteThe aprons are adorable, Pauline! Lots of sweet projects, as well.
ReplyDeleteI'd feel oh so lucky if I won the Granny Garden package.
Wow, you've been very busy finishing up all those UFOs. Wish I could finish a few of mine, but I seem to be drawn to the garden these days. I've been thinking about aprons lately, as I think they would make great gifts for my Christmas gift stack, and so I would love to win the Granny Garden and Amelia fabric.
ReplyDeleteI think both of them are gorgeous but if I had to pick one I would say the Granny Garden because my oldest daughter loves that blue color. It is her favorite and this apron would be for her. Thank you so much for the chance to win such an awesome prize!
ReplyDeleteyou have been so dang productive! I love the brightness of the quilts they make me smile! If I win I would love the Moda pastel plaid and Hideaway fabric! Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDesperate for an apron..and your timely tutorial has come to the rescue! Thanks for putting in the hard yards and encouraging words. I can see you have been a busy gal ..I was admiring how speccy the "Heather Ross" quilt looks on the reverse..that is amazing quilting and I love the lady bird and the young girl's dream, they are just lovely.

ReplyDeleteThose are very sweet aprons! I was just thinking today about making my sister an apron for her birthday at the end of May and I know that she would love Moda's Granny Garden and Amelia fabric. Thanks for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteGranny Garden and Amelia would look very nice together for this lovely apron. I enjoyed your post over at sewwequilt. Thanks for the chance. I've been haunting your blog and happy that you're posting again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! Which Gammill do you have and do you like it? I tried one at the last quilt show I went to. I want to buy a long arm. Oh, love the princess blocks. I'm quilt lifting it for a tinkerbell quilt I am still in the idea stage with. I pinned it :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI loved the blue..I love the Granny Garden and Amelia set.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
They are both so wonderful! My preference would be the flower one, but either would be very fun - especially since I am trying to cook more.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that you got some work done. Now we just have to see the purple quilt ;D xoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the aprons. If I won I would love the plaid.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Moda's Granny Garden and Amelia fabric!
ReplyDeleteI have no preference either would be nice to win.

Love your aprons and tutorial! I would love to win the Grandmothers Garden, but they're both cute :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial at Madam Samm's. What a clever idea how to make an apron. For sure I want to give this a try. Congrats on finishing up some of your UFOs. They all look great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a neat giveaway and a chance to win. I like both apron kits but Moda's Granny Garden on the right is what I'd choose.

The Pastel Plaid would be my choice! thanks for the giveaway and tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI love the tutorial and I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
I love wearing aprons and this tutorial is great! one question- is the pattern big enough for a plus sized woman to wear?
ReplyDeleteLove the green plaid combo!
DachsiesWithMoxieMama@gmail.com
Wow you've been busy! I loved your apron tutorial and your quilts are awesome too.
ReplyDeleteJennifer :)
I love this apron. I love the fact that tea toweling was used. I am excited, can you tell?
ReplyDeleteVery cute aprons! I'd love to win :) alonzoteressa{at}hotmail{dot}com.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this apron, it's on my weekend project list. The quilting is gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute apron! and easy too!
ReplyDeleteIf I have to pick one I pick Granny
Garden. But they are both cute.
Bridgidk
The aprons are so cute. I like the Moda's Granny Garden....
ReplyDeleteVery cute apron's. I would pick the Pastel Plaid. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteAm a follower, and like the Granny package! Thanks
ReplyDeleteLovely little quilts! I would choose grannys garden and amelia. thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou've really been busy, all your finished UFO's are beautiful. The apron is cute, I have a friend who would love one and since it seems easy enough I might even make one for me. I always forget to put an apron on until I am covered in flour or spaghetti sauce. Granny's garden probably would not show the splatters as much but I like the Moda Pastel Plaid best.BonnieGay
ReplyDeleteOhh how cute!! I would love the blue fabric with the flowers. I will follow you blog becasue I am very impressed with your designs. Thanks soo much Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteGranny Garden and Amelia for me! I love the vintage look!
ReplyDeleteI love them both! Either one would be a treat!
ReplyDeleteModa's Pastel Plaid and Hideaway fabric would be my choice if I had to pick but I love them both. Thanks for the great tutorial, think I could even make one.
ReplyDeleteSandy
