The Church Ladies' Apron

The Church Ladies' Apron pattern is the sweetest apron pattern I know. Reminds me of the aprons my Grandma Redlinger wore (and were always hanging on the hook on the door of the kitchen cabinet, ready for anyone who was coming to help in the kitchen). They make wonderful gifts! We were in Florida for Easter and here is my cousin Linda Weaver showing a few recent ones that I made -- they are reversible and have pockets. I just LOVE them!!

The Lil' Buddy Pressing Board

Here's my latest project, The Quilters Lil' Buddy Pressing Board, completely crafted by hand right here in the USA by myself and Uncle Bob (aka U.B. & Pinky Dink). The boards are just the right size for use in your sewing room or to take to class or bee. You can use it with a regular sized iron or a mini. The board includes a reversible cover and a Teflon quilted under pad. They are currently available at quilt shows around the country in Karen Comstock's Quiltricks booth. Check Karen's website -- http://www.quiltricks.com/ for her show schedule. OR contact me directly to obtain a Lil' Buddy by mail!!

Last weekend's Apex Holiday Craft Festival with dear friends Joyce (aka "Joyce B") and Karen.

On the road to Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, just hung out knitting in the backseat with my great-nephew Max, who had a good time with the yarn.

Both are AVAILABLE.

The traditional "Amish Puzzle Ball" -- the baby can play and love it, but it took some brains to figure out how to put them together! Great for little fingers to grab but it can't roll away from the baby!!
