You Well it is March....which means that there is a new UFO Challenge. And that number is....TWELVE!
For the past 3 years, a good friend and I teach a 4-H sewing class once a month. This past month we taught these little cuties how to make tea towel aprons. And from the smiles on their faces I think they are going to have a great time cooking! I used this tutorial.
And I also managed to finish the pillows that were in my February UFO Challenge. I made 2 red and 2 green pillows out of fabric I had bought before the holidays. I also decided to make some pillows for spring, a white pleated linen pillow cover ($20 version at Marshall's) and a lace light teal pillow cover (another $20 version at Home Goods). With a 50% off coupon at Joann's, it's hard to justify buying the pillows!!
And last but not least I finished another pair of grey booties for one of my oldest daughter's NY friend who just had a baby boy.
So what didn't get done in February that I wanted to do?
Hmmm.....let's see what gets done in March!
The Lone Star Quilt is a real UFO. I must of started it years ago when the kids were really young and never managed to finish it.
I bought this yarn about 5 years ago on my first trip to NY. I was there over Labor Day weekend and Sarah took me to the Lion Bran NY Flagship store. I manged to use up most of the yarn I bought there but still have a couple of balls that will be used for a wonderful cowl.
I had a bunch of things that I wanted to blog about but just didn't get it done. So what else got finished in February? Well here's a quick overview of what I had been working on since my last post:
My daughter had three baby showers. And I thought why not try to get all of those congrats and well-wishes into one place and what better way than in a signature quilt? I used this tutorial for the pattern.
I also made #5, #6 and #7 of the Style Arc Estelle Jacket. I made another olive green one for my youngest daughter and one out of navy (color isn't quite right in the picture below). The navy was from the same line as the olive fabric which I found at Joann's and was blogged about here. In these versions I did add pockets as seen in the photo below. (Ignore the mark on her forehead, it is Ash Wednesday and she had gone to mass). I also made a navy version for myself...that makes 3 Estelle Jackets for me! This is just one of those tried and true patterns that everyone has to have in their closet!!

So what didn't get done in February that I wanted to do?

- Do something with my purple Mood Fabric
- Do something with my Sarah's Fabric grey knit
Hmmm.....let's see what gets done in March!
