Whatcha Working on REDnesday!

Whatcha Working on REDnesday!

How is that for including both meme's in the same title?

LOL!

Actually I initially typed it that way by accident

and then I thought

Hey, wait a minute!

That works.

So I retyped what I deleted.

Anyway,

thank you to Leslie over at My Country Home for

hosting Whatch Working on Wednesday.

Posting for this theme every week as I can

has really helped to keep me

moving forward on my projects.

Gotta show something I am working on

each week.

Also thank you to Sue at

It's A Very Cherry World for

hosting REDnesday.

If I have the least bit of RED in my projects,

then I am going to link up with Sue too.

More fun that way!

~~~~~~~~

I will start you off with some RED.

And green too.

This is the fabric I got

to make the

other 4 quilt tops

I plan to make

for Christmas.

Well, I am going to try anyway.

The fabric is really more RED

than it looks here.

Also I have not ironed it yet

after doing the prewashing.

~~~~~~

So what else have I been up to this week?

Sunday I took my 13 year old niece out

for pattern and fabric shopping.

My birthday gift to her was

to pick out a pattern and

fabric and I would teach her

how to sew it.

I suggested an apron as a good first project.

Her birthday was in August.

But she has a busy schedule and

Sunday was our outing day.

We checked out Simplicity patterns since those

were the ones that were on sale.

I am not going to pay full price for those patterns.

As we browsed through them

I explained to her the things that

made it easy or hard to make.

This is the one she picked out.

I rather like it myself!

This is what she picked out for fabrics.
The print will the the apron,
the blue the pocket and the brown
the trim and strap.
But as we were checking the pattern for how much
fabric,
we discovered this is a reversable apron!
Okay...so the blue will be the apron on the reverse side.
I forget how she wants to do the pocket on that side.
Anyway, I am going to prewash the fabric.
I always so that.
And then in a couple of weeks we get together again
to cut out the fabric and start sewing.
My niece has been wanting to learn to sew.
It will be a great way to spend some one and one time with her.

I feel in love with this fabric.
A littled RED there for REDnesday!
This will be for a special project that I will reveal later.
First I need to prewash this fabric too.

Oh, look! I love this fabric so much I uploaded the
picture twice!! LOL!

Hmm...another project in the works.

I am farther along with two more rows of

eyelet sewed on.

But upon looking on it closely, I sewed the

last row on upside down.

Ugh!!

Guess I gotta use my seam ripper and redo that one.

Can't stand to leave it like that.

I had to do some of this too.
Shorten my new pants.

Still need to do a couple more pairs

plus a pair for B-Daddy.

Another project I am trying to get done soon!

Can you see some RED there?

Ah....I gues it is more orange.

But that is RED and yellow together.......

A card I am working on.
Needs to be done ASAP!

Working on my second NOEL block.

This I take to work and do on my lunch breaks.

It is the easiest take along project

I have going right now.

~~~~~

Whew!

I guess that is it for now.

Come back on Friday for

Get R Done Friday

and see what I have finished.

What are you working on this week?

Have a great day!
