Bra Update

Remember these? Those festive BRAS I was working on before Christmas?

They grew up to be a basket of fruit for my small group of quilting friends.

I made red apples, green apples, lemons and oranges.

Before I got sick, I had visions of pears, limes and strawberries. But I felt that what I did accomplish was good enough and moved on.

One side of each fruit is a stuffed pincushion and the other side is a zipped bag to hold sewing notions. I filled mine with chocolates because it looked as if one side of the fruit had lost it's silicon implant. It wasn't a pretty sight!
So there you have it. I'm sorry to make you wait but I missed our last meeting and I didn't want my quilting friends to know what I was giving them for Christmas.
The pattern came from Oliver and S. I downloaded the PDF (boy do I need to learn how to do that!). It was fun, a little taxing at time, but then again I made 12. Of course I'd do it again and like I said, I planned on making other fruits, I just need to draw them out first and practice.

Have a lovely weekend!
Next week I have a bag of color that I can't wait to show you, all Thanks to a quilting friend!

Take care, Brandie
