2013 Apron Review

So, here we are, the last day of 2013!  Sometimes when I look back, I wonder, what did I do that was worthwhile this year?  I did very little quilting, and no gardening; however, I did rake hay and I worked with six batches of chickens, and I made aprons!  I kept my promise to have twelve aprons; I made eleven of them. 

A blogging friend suggested that I show the twelve.  Will it be boastful?  I surely hope not, so here they are:
January ~ ripply half apron
February ~ child's apron
March ~ half apron with attached dish towel
April ~ vintage crocheted half apron from the farmer's great aunt
May ~ from a vintage pattern
June
July ~ half apron with quilted potholder corners
August ~ gifted to a dear blogging friend who likes big pockets :)
September
October
November ~ mother/daughter simple aprons
December ~ applique from Lee Prairie Designs

 


Whew!!  I put several yards of thread through my new machine in 2013!  Wonder what will be next?
 
Have a wonderful New Year!!
Charlotte

  5. How nice to reach your goal of 12 aprons. I like aprons but only need a couple but I think I would like making them for others if I knew others that would like them! LOL Have a great New Year! Nancy

  6. What fun to see all of the aprons together. All are so very nice so I have had a hard time choosing a favorite. I love bib aprons so have narrowed it down to June, Sept, Oct. and Dec. But, if I had to choose one, I think it would be October. I wonder which you would choose.

    And your header quilt is stunning...I know you must have some fun surprises up your sleeve for 2014!

    Our kids are here and I have fallen hard for the little one...will be hard to let her go home!

  7. Oh, I LOVE October! I buy old apron patterns and doll clothes patterns at garage sales and have accumulated a few. I need to be better about wearing my aprons. I have a couple of dark denim ones I ought to be wearing when I work out in the garden, maybe my T-shirts would not get so grungy then. Beautiful quilt on your header. Hugs, Ilene

  8. Wow, what a wonderful collection of aprons you have made and received. You were a busy lady with your sewing machine. My favorite is August, big pockets. Do you have a pattern? Do you take orders?

    Te quilt in your header is beautiful.

    Have a wonderful 2014, creating and spreading joy along the way.

    Love and hugs ~ FlowerLady

  13. All of them beautiful.
    If you were selling
    I would buy one of each:)
    and surely do not need
    12 aprons
    but they are all a work of art.
    Special thoughts
    of you this early cold morning...
