It's a wrap!

I signed up the Crafty Cooks Apron and recipe swap as I have mentioned.  After spending some time stalking my partner, I hope that I have managed to create an apron that meets her needs.  I hope she likes it! I used a some Kate Spain fat quarters from the line Cuzco along with the mauve print which is something from my stash.  The apron has wrap around ties and extra deep pockets that are string pieced.  All the seams are french seams so there will be no raw edges to fray in the wash.  

I am quite happy with it.  I have to get the package ready to mail.  I have already tucked a few recipes in the pockets.  I couldn't decide on just one.  

Linking up with Fabric Tuesday at Quilt Story!

What about an apron?

I was invited to join an apron swap on Flickr.  It is the Crafty Cooks Apron and Recipe Swap.  There is still room in the group, people.  I do like swaps!  What you have to do is make an apron for a partner and send it off with a great recipe.  That's it.  You do have to post a mosaic of aprons you like so your partner knows your style.  I am not a big apron wearer but these are definitely aprons I like.  Do you notice a lot of purple.  Hmm.  Yep, I do like purple.  And vintage.  These are all apron photos I found on flickr.  I have not made an apron for eons.  I cannot wait to get started.  I have all sorts of ideas already burbling.

On another topic... it was a glorious sunny day and Husband actually mowed the lawns for the first time.  Not the whole thing but the grass around the house.  The field will have to wait as there are areas that are still under water.  Apparently due to our mild winter, we are about 2 or more weeks ahead of where we would normally be in terms of the growing season.  The annual golf ball harvest has also begun.  We live across from a golf course. We keep a big bucket on the back porch for them and we fill the bucket up each year.  I would rather it be something more interesting like packs of rotary cutter blades or spools of thread but alas it is golf balls.
