This hop has been a long time coming and now here it is...
Whoohoo! It's Nancy Drew!
Thanks, Madame Samm, for letting me be the cheerleader for this sleuthy hop.
(I know! "Sleuthy" isn't a word, but it should be!)
My friend's daughter, Rachel, is a HUGE Nancy Drew fan, so this
gave me lots of incentive to get creative just for her.
I just knew that Rachel would need a warm little quilt
to bundle up in while reading her Nancy Drew books.
I added a little fun to the quilt by embroidering
"Rachel did it" in the middle of my paper pieced magnifying glass
that I found over at Sew Hooked (it was free!) Just so you know,
the bloody spots are not from the pricks in my fingers while embroidering.

And, here's a few books that will be wrapped up in Rachel's
little package of Nancy Drew fun.
A little ruffly apron for Rachel to wear while mixing up some of the
Nancy Drew cookbook's recipes. Oh boy, I love that ruffler tool!
My daughter was the model for this frilly apron, but she
wasn't willing to have me show all of her--she's really sweet AND
cute, so it's your loss not to get to see ALL of her.
Yes, there is a cookbook for Rachel, too!
Though I'm not a great cook, I followed a pattern (yes, I did!)
and made this little apron just for me. It's reversible (so I can flip it over
when I make a disgusting mess of it) and it has two pockets.
It's Mary Mulari's Church Ladies' Apron Pattern.

I was certain that Rachel would need a little sewing/sleuth kit to
help her solve the mysteries of the world (or a tear in her skirt),
so I made a kit (without a pattern) just for her.
Here it is all rolled up and hiding what's inside.
Once it is unrolled, there's pockets and places filled with
thread, needles, safety pins, a notepad with an "R", a magnifying glass,
a purple pen, some scissors, and a built-in pincushion.
If you look close you can see the pincushion

Thank you for all your hard work and all your amazing projects. I am blown away!
I am in awe of all the projects you have made. I didn't know there was a cookbook!!And I love the apron. Wonderful job.
Your creative projects turned out wonderfully! Such fun ideas for a really fabulous fabric line!!
Wow Carol you made some wonderful things. You'll be ready for that ruffle hop in the future, won't you? Everything is just great.
Carol, how fabulous all your projects are . I know one little girl who will just be over the moon with all of the cute things you made. I loved both of the aprons too adorable and everyone would love to snuggle under that quilt.
Wow great projects!

"yikes!" what great projects! everything is over the top!
Love your projects! Really love the quilt, truly unique.
What fun and creative projects you made...so wonderful!
Carol your quilt is simply beautiful! And since I'm a sucker for aprons - oh my goodness. The ruffly one is wonderful but since it would probably look much better on a skinny young thing it's the church ladies apron that really catches my eye. :) blessings, marlene
I love the quilt! You are so creative with the magnifying glass and the 'who did it' detail!!!
Wow Carol! Super projects. That's some sewing kit. Maybe I should be nicer to my kids' friends :). Very fun.
You really had a lot of projects and loved them all. The fabric is so nice and bright.
WOW!! you are amazing all the stuff you accomplished. I love everyone of the things you made.. what a lucky person Rachel is.

"Sew" many fabolus yes, that's right fabolus things you made. Aren't you just a creative sluether !
What a great job you're doing! You did an awesome job on your project, too1
Rachel is one lucky sleuth, she will just love all of the gifts you made for her, I am also liking the apron you made, I just love it when you can reverse things.
Not only do you organize a marvelous hop but you throw yourself into the projects! I loved the drops of blood on the quilt! :) Everything you made is great though my favorite is the ruffled apron - just so cute!
Yay Carol! Busy lady :o) I found the clue!!!
