I completed the Baby Quilt

I wanted to share with everyone I completed the baby quilt again this is what I truly like to do.  Let me know what you think, I hand stitched each square and added the batting, the back and the blue trim to tie it all together.  The customer was very happy and I hope the baby liked it also, here it is.

Sugar N Spice N Everything Sew Nice

I had mentioned that I was planning on doing a sewing class out of my home.  Well I had a lot of interest in doing this and next week November 19th, 20th, and the 24th.  Classes will be help Monday and Tuesday from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm and Saturday will be from 1 pm to 4 pm.  You only need to come for one of these days, but if you are interested you can come for more.  The cost is $15 for a 2 hour session.  I will be showing how to make stockings for the holiday's and bring something that needs to be fixed so I can help you learn how to fix it.  For example hemming some pants, repairing a shirt, or sewing on a button.

This is going to be fun and will be held at my house on these three days, but space is limited so don't wait contact me at freenluvit@hotmail.com I can give you more information and get you in before it is full.

        Hi again just wanted to say to thoughts that have been looking at this blog thank you very much.  I have been receiving more internet traffic to my to my other sites.  I am still making aprons and quilts and am gearing up for the Thanks Giving and Christmas Holidays.  I thought I would share with you about the Quartermaina I am going to be doing this Friday (11-2-12) I have never done one of these before but it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun.  This will be held at the Crossroads Church in La Habra witch is on Euclid just behind La Habra City Hall.  It starts about 5pm.  If you would like so info please contact me (freenluvit@hotmail.com).

          I also wanted to let you know I am still planning a sewing class in November, so if you want to learn to sew, I can help you.  Again just contact me at (freenluvit@hotmail.com) and I will get back to yo with more info.  Might be a great time for you to learn a skill that you could use for the holidays.

Have you ever wanted to learn to sew

I have been asked time and time again "I would so love to learn to sew".  Well I can help, starting in November I will be holding sewing classes just in time for the Holidays.  I can show you how to make Aprons, Stockings, Table Runners, and much more.  Please contact me at (freenluvit@hotmail.com) for more details.  I will work to keep these classes small and personal.

Would you like to have an Apron Party

I was recently asked to do and Apron Party, and I said why not lets try it.  Everyone that came had a great time, good conversation and wonderful food was had by all on the night.  Everyone at the party was able to go though all my aprons and try them on to see which one fit there personalities best.  Everyone was very nice and I know that the ladies left happy buying what they liked most.
This went very well so if you are in the Orange County area and think you might like to hold you own Apron Party please let me know.  You can contact me for details on special and giveaways and special gift for the host (freenluvit@hotmail.com).

November 9th, 10th, and 11th The Walnut House of Treasures in La Habra will be hosting there Boutique.  There time are different each day but there are pretty much open from late morning till late afternoon.  I am really looking forward to this one.  Finally I heard about Holiday Boutique at the Lakewood First United Methodist Church in Bellflower 11/17 from 10am - 5pm.  This is not as close to me but it looks like it might be worth the time.  These are just a few coming up I hope to keep a list going on this blog.  If you know of any Boutiques that are coming up soon or would like for me to blog about please send me a message.  Like I said I always look forward to these shows and would love to be able talk about it for other to see.

Here is a sample

I wanted to share a sample of what I have been making as far as aprons go.  This is an apron that I made and sold the same day, I also made a dress for my daughter out of it.  If you like it I can look for this material again and make some more.

And here is a men's apron just to show you that I can make one for you Husband or boy friend as well.  This is perfect for fathers day so that he can BBQ those hamburgers in style.

Michelle's Aprons and Creations

I have been making aprons and other things like Quilts, Place Mats, and other things for years now.  But most of what I have made has been for family and friends.  People have always told me that I should sell to the public, well now is the time.   We are like most people just trying to keep our heads above water until things start to get better, and selling these items has been a big help so I wanted to expand my customer base.
So I have started a web site http://www.michellesaprons.webs.com as well as a facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Michelles-Aprons-and-Creations/186568831477744 as well.  You can go to either site to see pictures of what I am making and and purchase right from the site.  Our maybe keep you eyes open to the Boutiques and Fairs that I will be working at.
I will do my best to keep this blog running as long as I am selling to the public.  So please take sometime to check out my sites and see for yourselves just what I have for you.
