I accomplished a good deal over this past week. Both the Raiders aprons are finished and I had enough fabric left over to make a runner to go with one, both are gifts for two friends of one of my daughters.
I am pleased with how easy the aprons were to make and the runner came out nicely. I had left overs from one Raiders fabric that I used to make pillowcases and another runner durning the Christmas season for one that same daughter's friends.I finished the Sun Bonnet Sue quilt this week. I am so pleased to get it done, as it was started a good 20 years ago. It goes to my granddaughter Suren that started it with me when she was 10 or 12 years old. When I reorganized the storage systems in my sewing room I happened upon it, forgotten for years. This is the backing fabric. Yes it is perfect for it. I happened to pick this fabric up off the free table a my guild meeting several months before unearthing the quilt. Who would have thought at that time it would be the perfect backing for that long forgotten quilt.

The aprons look very nice. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who stumbles across 'old' projects in the sewing room. The quilt is very nice. Your granddaughter will be thrilled to see the finish, she probably doesn't even remember the quilt!
