This is my latest, and probably most ambitious creation over at ApronFrenzy. I had a request for an apron for someone’s mom who is a member of the Daughter’s of the American Revolution. She asked for something “patriotic, ‘Williamsburg’ looking, and maybe embroidered.” When I went to the DAR page, I knew this material was perfect. Then I stretched the creative side of my brain, searched for colonial looking print and ended up free-handing the lettering then embroidering it. Do you think I caught the feel? If you want to see more or order your own custom apron, head on over to ApronFrenzy.

First, before I forget, I love this template! I have it on my dot com blog, which I’m not currently using. And second, I love your poem you wrote for your grandbaby! She is a miracle and I offer up my thanks that she is here with you bringing you joys upon joys!
Your wonderful patriotic poem suits the theme for photo hunt, which is extra points, I believe! I have my tanka up for tomorrow’s One Single Impression prompt. If you’d care to participate, the OSI link is in my post. Any poetic form is welcomed! This week’s prompt is “listening”!
Your apron is too nice to cook with! I use to sew, and at times I miss it, but I have no room for my sewing studio anymore. I actually traded all my stash (which was quite considerable!) for an over-sized king sized quilt made by a friend. I’m still waiting for the shams!

Oh, that’s lovely. You really freehanded the text? Very impressive.

Excellent job as usual. I especially liked that one. But once again Grampy just wouldn’t look right in an apron.
Thanks for visiting Grampys Place.

I like cinquains and yours is great. Perfect match for the apron!
I also read your poem for your granddaughter and it’s just beautiful as is she!
I think it will just be spot on. Great picture of a wonderful apron. We don’t use aprons much any more but I have always thought we should make designer bibs… for eating out. Something to match your outfit or blend in so it isn’t so obvious. Then when we drop something on our fronts, as always happens, we can avoid the dry cleaning bill. Just an idea.

You make personalised aprons for fun? And I thought blogging was a time-consuming hobby to have! ;b

You always do the nicest aprons….
Actually it was 63 roles of old film…LOL! and so we decided the cheapest way to take care of them was get them put on disc, and then we could print pictures later if we wanted…
Oh that’s adorable!
Beautiful poem, apron and new look over here!

your back actually spasms like that every couple of years?? you poor girl…it was the worst pain ever…worse then a regular back ache…
Hope i don’t get it back again…
Marvelous job! I love your design ;–)
Great quote and cinquain too. Sorry I’ve not been around for a while. I’ve been ill but am feeling much better so hopefully I’ll catch up gradually.
Hugs and blessings,

That is beautiful. You did a great job on that. So, you embroider too?
Are you sure that’s how you spell “daughter”?
Gotcha! I know, I know it was mean but I couldn’t stop myself. My first thought was “man, wouldn’t it suck to get through all that and then realize…”.
Quite a challenge, I’m sure. But quite a creative solution to the problem.

I read your blog for quite a long time and should tell you that your posts always prove to be of a high value and quality for readers.
Very nice information. Thanks for this. You really have a very informative site, thank you for sharing!
I love the embroidery, it never fails to astonish me that some people are skilled enough to create hand crafted items and almost without fail they are increadably modest about thier achievements. Well done Mrs Vixen
