Treats in progress...

Here's one of the projects I have going on... this is the Kelly's Sweet Treats line of fabric through Red Rooster.  It is being ordered by shops now to ship in May.  Here are just a couple of the projects I'm working on for the book...

These fabrics are really fun!  I liked how the little girl's apron came out, cupcake pocket and all :o)

Here's a little book cover for a "composition" book.  I found the composition books at Wal-Mart for less than $1, and I love them because the front and back cover are heavy, durable cardboard, so it gave the notebook super stability.  I use mine all of the time.  It's where I keep notes on conversations, emails I have concerning projects, things I have done daily, or ideas for fabric lines and patterns.  It's where I organize all of my scattered thoughts!  The little one is my grocery pad/coupon organizer.  I made both with these SUPER STRONG square magnetic bag closures.  If the magnets get anywhere close to each other, the attraction is so strong they just grab each other and fasten so easily.  Another neat feature is that you just sew around the edge of the magnet.  There is a little "ditch" provided, so your needle just seems to fall right where it should.  No special needle is required.  I'll post more info and pics on those later.  You definitely need to see them in action :o)

Here are the swatches from the line so you can see them up close...

 

by Kelly Mueller Delivers to shops May/June 2012. Cupcakes, cookies, muffins and more! Who can resist such temptations? Kelly Mueller's delightful artwork is just perfect for a theme with such home-style warmth. The collection offers a new craft panel similar to the one introduced with Hugs and Holly. This one contains starter blocks to make several types of dish cozies, a trimmed tea towel, oven pads, teapot cozy and gift tags/labels. Kelly's easy and clear instructions are printed on the panel making it easy for anyone to complete the projects. The small, patch print is not only charming but oh-so-usable! Cut along separator lines to create multi-patch blocks of four, nine, sixteen or twenty motifs! The print can also be cut effectively as borders or sashing. The layout ensures that you'll be able to cut it both horizontally and vertically with the same results. The larger scale, patch print uses a random layout making it perfect not only for quilt backing but also for tablecloths or placemats, napkins, aprons, kitchen curtains, chair cushions and more! The collection also includes a balanced assortment of coordinate prints that will work well for these same types of projects. Plus, the three tonal patterns provide a complete range of color and value. 11 patterns/25 skus Style #4129 Pattern #22184-MULI1 Style #4129 Pattern #22186-MULI1 Style #4129 Pattern #22187-PIN1 Style #4129 Pattern #22187-MUL1 Style #4129 Pattern #22187-DKBRO1 Style #4129 Pattern #22187-BLU1 Style #4129 Pattern #22187-WIN1 Style #4129 Pattern #22188-GOL1 Style #4129 Pattern #22188-RED1 Style #4129 Pattern #22189-LTBLU1 Style #4129 Pattern #22189-GOL1 Style #4129 Pattern #22189-RED1 Style #4129 Pattern #22190-PIN1 Style #4129 Pattern #22190-LTBLU1 Style #4129 Pattern #22190-GOL1 Style #4129 Pattern #22191-BEI1 Style #4129 Pattern #22191-LTGRE1 Style #4129 Pattern #22191-DKBLU1 Style #4129 Pattern #22191-DKGRE1 Style #4129 Pattern #22191-WIN1 Style #4129 Pattern #22192-MUL1 Style #4129 Pattern #22732-GRE1 Style #4129 Pattern #22732-BRO1 Style #4129 Pattern #22733-GOL1
