It's time to share the projects I made recently with a brand new fall fabric line called Painted Blossoms, by Poppie Cotton. It has a lovely color palette, and lots of pretty floral prints. My favorites are the butterflies!

Here is the selection I chose to use from my fat quarter bundle. The colors are so perfect for this time of year! 

 

I felt a little burnt out after making two quilts on a close deadline with the last blog tour, so I wanted something smaller and easier this time.

 

I had a little yardage of two of the butterfly prints, so after some debating on what to use them for, I settled on making a fun little coordinating set of little girl size coverall aprons from a 1960s pattern.

They were super cute and easy to make! Just one piece to cut out, sew the shoulder seams, and bind all the edges. 

 

For the larger size apron, I used a contrast floral from Painted Blossoms to bind the edges. I think it turned out so cute in this pink color!

 

Of course there are roomy patch pockets. 

 

It slips on easily, is loose fitting, and snaps at the back of the neck – a great size-versatile way to protect the clothes underneath. 

 

I scaled down the pattern quite a bit to make the 2-year-old size, and bound it with a gingham basic.

 

I could make the whole thing in an hour or less, so these were very easy and quick projects. My girls were thrilled with them! I have a feeling these will get a lot of use during the upcoming holiday baking season.

 

But as usual, when I only use a few prints from a collection, I like to also play with the rest of it in something smaller. This time it was a selection of kitcheny things!

 

I badly needed a hotpad refresh in my kitchen, so I could get rid of the sadly stained and greasy ones I've been using.

 

I made 4 quilt-as-you-go hotpads in different styles and sizes. 

My last item was a non-quilted cloth for my folding bed table that I use as a tea tray almost every afternoon on the sofa. I used some prints that will hopefully hide any tea stains, and added some vintage lace for the perfect trim.

 

It's completely reversible, so I got two different looks in one. It's hard to decide which side I like better!

 

All of these were fun to make, and as usual if you check out the other makes on this blog tour you can see a wide variety of lovely and creative projects which are sure to give you inspiration!
