My latest creation


This apron is truly vintage. The middle section is a flower quilt block my great-grandmother pieced together by hand. When my Grandparents moved, my Grandma gave me a box with all of the miscellaneous quilting blocks and pieces. I used one of those blocks and then pieced the squares together around the outer part to make to yoke large enough. Then I quilted the entire top section...my first time quilting. All it needs is a pocket, and it will be complete. I also didn't have a pattern I liked, so I just made it up as I went along. It's very cheeful!

So cute!

(I'd be afraid to use it in fear of ruining Great-Grandma's work)

Cute! I'm always getting passed stuff that I don't know what to do with. I pass most of it on to someone who can use it (Like for instance "Good Will")
