Irishrose you have been busy! Everything is so pretty and I am sure your son loved the quilt it is one of a kind with him in mind.

Not really a quilt, but matching aprons for my sister and niece. These were made on my FW from vintage fabric I picked up at an estate sale. I'm not a garment maker, but I think they turned out pretty nice. My niece got her own "kitchen," so I made her some matching potholders too.

And, another gift for my niece. Forgot to get a picture, but they went on a picnic for New Year's Day. I love to see "action shots" of gifts in use. :) It's a circle jean quilt, made with Rizzo, the pink and white Universal. Unfortunately the zigzag kept loosing tension, but it turned out to be a good throw on the ground type of blanket.

Bennett, The matching aprons are too cute! I love your circle jean quilt. Your niece is adorable in those pink boots.

Thank you both. She does love those boots, wouldn't have any other color but the pink. :)

The Tradewinds blocks because he travels for work. The USMC logo and his daughters' pictures had to go on the back. I ran out of space on the front.

The table topper and table runners were presents. A Spicy Spiral and a made up pattern using scraps.

edit: As usual everything is pinker than real. I wonder if it's my camera or photo program. I saw some spots on the carpet. I hadn't cleaned it after the thundering herd was here for Thanksgiving when these were taken.

Irish, I love all your projects! The spiral runner is really fun to look at! I love table runners - they can really spice up a table and are such fun to make!
