Fall Vest For Mom and Giveaway

 My Mom, 
 Encourager, Supporter, Cheerleader
and Friend!
 (but Mom always first!).
(Houston Give Away Below)


 I participated in my first Blog Hop a few posts back.
In the Hop I used 2 fabrics.
I liked the green fabric so.... much, that I took all the remaining cuts
(OK..they are scraps but I can't label them that, when recreating Art--Right?)
and added a few additional cuts to the cover the top!
Added a FEW fall leafs that was cut with the Accu-Quilt.
I was going for a subtle "Fall" look.
Kinda like a pile of crinkled leafs with only a few Whole Jewels in the crowd.
(Alright poetry is not my thng!)



The fabric cuts were applied to a sweatshirt!
Traced a favorite store purchased vest as a pattern to cut the arms a edges.

It was quilted on a mid-arm!
A domestic machine works just as nice.

May just need to make one for me too!


A HOUSTON GIVE AWAY!
Allot of people that follow this blog will be in Houston.
So be on the look-out,  the first person that stops my mom
 and says that they saw this post, 
will get a pile of leafs.
