Applique

I think I mentioned on Saturday my friend and I went to a mall near us and found a bunch of blanks for applique projects?  Well today we put a few of the items to use.  My friend and her 3 kids came over for a few hours so we could get to work.

These are all of Sterling's finds on Saturday

This stash is for Xander.  He also got a new coat for spring, but since it's not part of the project it wasn't included in the picture.  On a sad note, the gray and black stripped shirt was ruined when I pre-washed all the stuff.  The red fabric ran on his poor shirt!  

And now for today...

We were hard at work on these two items 

And then when her crew left I decided to practice using the monogram stitching and found what 2 of the filler meant, ha!

Then while I was cleaning up from dinner I noticed it was rather quiet so I go check on the kids and they are strapped in their car seats watching team umizoomi...gotta love a father that's trying to do other things.   At least they're safely strapped in...in the house, ha!!

Fun side note to add...tomorrow we get to pick up our new car!  Oh how i'm so excited to have my car back.  Although Nick thinks he gets to keep the Volvo because he says men are supposed to have the bigger vehicles and the ladies have the cars.  I think he has it all wrong!  

Have a great day!
