A Is For Apron x2=Auto-Cut/Chain/Sew Mode

In quilting it is called 'Chain Piecing'....like when you have 50 pieces paired together to make 25 sets of 2.  After years of 'Chain Piecing', my brain goes on Auto-Cut/Chain/Sew Mode.  So instead of cutting out one of each of the pattern pieces I layer it up and cut two.  At least two...sometimes more...it's the 'OverDoSue' thingy!
Is this not the cutest fabric?  Perfect for a Kindergarten teacher! 
It is a custom order...fun to sew, too!
I'm betting she will want one for Christmas, too!
If not...well, I sure do!

Rewarded for Being Bossy

So, where ya been?
What did ya do?
What was the occasion?
How was the weather?

Okay, here I go with answers to your questions!  You have been wondering...right?

I have been back to my hometown in Oil Boom West Texas!

I arranged and decorated tables and chairs for about 120 people.  Set up my 'OverDoSue' Booth.  Bossed a bunch of other people around, made popcorn, and was a co-hostess with the mostess.

It was my high school graduating classes 50th Reunion.

It was October in West Texas...it was hot one day, cold the next and just right the next.
My classmates and friends for life know me well!
They know I collect Headvases and Yellow Roses are my favorites.
How sweet and thoughtful...even after all my bossyness!
