Happy Mother's Day with hearts and flowers and chickens andquilts, pincushions, bags, aprons, and lots of sewing room fun!!!
Kermit, the cat, is just hanging while Edith, Penelope, Little Nell, and Dorothy are waiting at the door wondering why I am not outside giving them treats for Mother's Day! Matilda, Ping, and Pia are more polite and are waiting in line in the grass for their turn to have my attention. Happy Mother's Day to chicken lovers and no, I don't mean fried, barbequed or fricasseed!

I love making aprons, potholders,
counter and dish mats! But when it comes to most things, I wing the
patterns on my own, publish tutorials for my own versions that usually
combine techniques and ideas, and then include those ideas in all of the
links to free patterns that I collect and share!
An apron is not something you might ordinarily make yourself, but its wonderful to have on hand when you need one! And they are way cute to wear when you're cooking for company... or just are wearing something new or nice that you don't want to get a spill on! And best of all, they've been a big hit as gifts!!
I love to make a complete sets...an apron, some hotpad/potholders, serged edged cloth napkins, and a simple little tea cozy ...the simple cozy is the one at the top left of the photo above
(see its little lifting up and down pull tab?). Once I get one set designed and made, I can't help myself...I have to make more and I create multiple sets in no time at all!
So, one year...three sets, another year...a repeat for anyone who has really used their apron or potholders and needs a new set...you get the idea!!!
And when I'm in a hurry, it's lovely to have a simple printed panel from a discount fabric store on hand. This one was from the Daisy Kingdom line and it was sooo popular one Christmas in Alaska, that I had two sisters-in-laws literally fighting over it!
The victor wore it quite literally all day long, even when she was eating Christmas dinner and just visiting with our big family. Oh, yes! Show off your victory big time, Becky!That's the year I knew I had a great gift that was truly appreciated!
Unfortunately, Daisy Kingdom closed a number of years ago, but you can still find their various pre-printed pieces online, at tag sales, and often in free share fabric tables.
My Own Alaskan "Kuspuk" the original Apron in Alaska
(How To Make A Kuspuk)
(How To Make A Kuspuk)
I
grew up in Alaska, and the native Alaskans especially of the northern
and north western areas make and wore kuspuks. But what most people
don't realize is that this is not a 'dress' or a 'jacket' as most people
assume. It was actually an apron of sorts.
Women
and girls wore the long version...with a skirt ruffle..over their other
clothing to protect that clothing from the hard work of cleaning fish,
seals etc. for food, clothing, lamp oil and other means of survival. For
many years, I helped a SIL teach grade school children(and their
parents) how to make these, designing our own non standard math 'non
patterns'...measuring lengths and cutting to size.
My
other links included in that post show many years of this great
project, our wearing of them to visit the Governor and his family in
Juneau Alaska, and how we were not only featured in the Alaska Daily
Empire but online and referenced during a legislative session for Kuspuk
Friday...when all of Alaska's legislator' literally wear kuspuks to
work!
And last but not least, nursing aprons or baby coverups that I have made for several wonderful mom's who have chosen natural baby feeding, but still want to be discrete in public for others! I created my own patterns and they are both reversible and can be pocket pouched just like a quillow so they fold up for carrying and look like this!
Since I also make 'quillows for gifts' I came up with the idea of self pocket for pillow pouching both of my nursing coverup aprons! I'm just so clever ;)
And here is my ongoing list of links, tutorials etc for making a variety of aprons...from full length bib aprons, to simple skirt front aprons, to nursing cover up aprons for feeding baby discretely.
I'm still in the process of finding links and don't have all of the photos yet..but you can surely find something that will work for you and if not...be inspired to come up with one of your own!

Love Bugs
There
is something extra special about receiving a handmade Valentine. These
Valentine ladybugs are a cute way to let someone know how much you
care. It's a fun and easy project that even the kids can help out with.
You can make one or a whole class set of these adorable love bugs.
It's okay to be creative with the colors. This is a great way to use up
some of the bits of scrapbooking paper you may already have.
Materials
- 1 piece of white cardstock to print the heart template
- 1 piece of colored cardstock
- 1 piece of coordinating patterned paper
- 2 small brads - I used heart shaped ones, but plain brass ones work fine
- pencil
- scissors
- black pen or marker
- 1/8 inch hole punch
- 2 small googly eyes and glue (optional)
sewing kit ensemble!

QUILTS! QUILTS! QUILTS!
Quilts,Quillows and Quirky Quilting Quandries:
What can you do with 2 yards of assorted scrap fabrics? Cut them up into 3 1/2" strips, continuously piece them together, or cut them into segments (shown above) and lay your strips into 45" rows.Add a border or two and you'll end up with this simple scrap quilt that ends up being a wonderful 68" x 70".
What can you do with simple squares, cut to fit bars and strips...pretty much the same things..only add some simple appliques ..like hearts or stars!
Fast and easy! Don't like winging it? Need a quick and easy...and free!...pattern???
Check out these wonderful sites for a total of more than 2,500 free quilt patterns for free downloading! I've added so many new links with so many free pattern downloads in each one...I could be at 3,000 free patterns (easily) by now! But I'm not going to count again ;)
And if you were looking for a specific quilt BLOCK and not a Quilt Pattern: check out my other huge list here:Huge List of Free Quilt Block Patterns
Free Quilt Patterns List 2013: (continually corrected and updated)
And I have to be honest with you! I have collected WAY MORE than 2,500 free quilt patterns. I could only count to 2,500 (well, the program I was using, anyway ;-) It might be 5,000 free patterns by now, because SO MANY of them link to a lot more than the one photo or one link I used!
Individual listings, then themes, categories etc. as you move through the list. Not always alphabetized as that's a huge ongoing process..but I try my best!

Raw Edge Layer Cake Quilt from 'Bloom'
The wonderful " Disappearing Nine Patch"seems to a technique in continual process of new and more involved variations. Simply put, a nine patch block is created and then sliced apart in a myriad of different cuts or with different color arrangements so it literally disappears and is replaced by four smaller units. Apparently, Karin Hallaby, wrote a book in 2002 called "Magic Pillows, Hidden Quilts, which included a Magic Nine Patch quilt made using the same technique that's so popular today. Nancy Brenan Daniel also wrote a book called Disappearing Nine Patch in 2002 but apparently it is quite different from what we are calling that style today. Eventually, an online blog by Helen Bailey, featured a tutorial about her own use of the disappearing nine patch but she referred to it by a different name. The same technique has been called Tossed Nine Patch (by Eleanor Burns) and (possibly) 9 to 4 by other quilters and authors.
And now of course, we have disappearing 4 patches, 9 patches, and on and on with so many fun and varied improvisations. But just to have a look, check out some of the images and links that I have discovered and create new and easy blocks and quilts of your own!
Let's start with some fun and simple 4 Packs as I share links to some tutorials and some different variations from what you might hink of as a D4P..or Disapearing 4 Patch, as well!
