Aprons

Aside from hobbies, I collect aprons. This first one is from Solvang in honor of our Scandinavian heritage.


This one is from my sister. A Christmas gift last year that she made for me. I love the colors.

This one was made for me by my mom. It reminds me of making cookies because the pattern is gingerbread boys and girls. It's also nice and old fashioned.

This one I made just this year. It is my Petter Rabbit apron. We got the pattern at a quilt shop and thus the cute fabric. It even has buttons with a Beatrix Potter story pattern.

This one was my grandmothers. It has lots of lovely applique work and a pretty scalloped edge.

This one I bought on eBay. It has a combination of applique and needle work.

Finally, this one, also from eBay, has some nice lace to go with the applique. I love strawberries.
The funny thing is that I forget to wear them when cooking or baking and end up with flour all over me.

I love how the Peter Rabbit one turned out...very cute.
I didn't know you had an apron from Grandma and I don't remember it either.
And I love Battenburg lace so naturally I like the strawberry one too!
