More Suess-piration - A Cat In the Hat Quilt!

A few posts ago, you saw my Suess-pirational apron and soon after that Marian, our Receiving Clerk at the Outlet on 4th, turned her Suess-piration towards quilting!

Marian designed and pieced this beautiful Cat In the Hat quilt, then Regina, our Long Arm quilter, quilted it for her. Isn't it great? We were very, very lucky to borrow the quilt from Marian's cat Cha Cha, who believes that it is really supposed to be a 'Cat On the Quilt' quilt.

Don't worry, Cha Cha! We'll be sure to return it to you after everyone has a chance to admire it! (If you'd like to see the quilt in person, please stop by the Outlet on 4th. We'd love to show it to you!)

Cute, and a Hoot to Boot: Mary's Seuss-ational apron!

Ever since our wonderful Seuss fabric came in, I've been fingering it and puzzling over what to make from it. I've been thinking of a quit for my baby, or something for a friend's kid, but I just  wasn't sure what.
Then today, I walked into our 4th Ave Outlet store and found Mary in this colorful apron, and I was immediately inspired! Seuss for adults! Why not?

Mary used Mary Mulari's Church Lady Apron pattern - a classic, and reversible, too!  Like all of Mary Mulari's apron patterns, it just requires two one-yard cuts of fabric, a little time and you have a FABULOUS apron. I am excited to make my own!
