I decided to re-sort all my mini aprons… since Autumn I had been pulling them out and not putting them back neatly,, my bad!
I have to be honest ,a couple of them made me cry..
They were from Clare aka Suzihomemaker.
We lost her to cancer … she was such a joy, even with her battle with cancer she had a positive attitude and impact on us…
She was an avid quilter and joined all the quilt block swaps until her cancer took her from us.
My tears are two fold, for our loss of a sweet lady and for joy, that we got to have a part of her in our lives…
Now that my mini aprons are neatly re-organized I can take down the valentines aprons and hang up some St. Patrick Day minis.

Aww Grace, that is such wonderful memories of your friend. It truly is amazing how close of friends so many have become over the years. So many wonderful farmgirls have made a huge impact on my life! All of your aprons are beautiful and I love that even your flamingo gets to participate!

Love the aprons Grace! That little crocheted one is beautiful! I have a few from the patriotic swap a while ago but that's it for my collection. I'll have to work on that LOL! This would be a great stash buster project.

I agree with Karen.
You should hang them on a line display where you can see and enjoy them.
They are so cute*

I'm sorry to say I do not remember Clare. She sounds like a beautiful person inside and out. I think she was before I joined MaryJanesFarm.

Oh Grace, Clare was so sweet. I have mini aprons from her. I need to dig mine out sort through them too! Now that I have a laundry room it would be cute to hang them up in there. Thanks for sharing and bringing her to mind.

Lisa, yes, Clare was a lovely MJF gal... The 2 mini aprons sitting in the first photo, ate from her.
I have hung my minis on dish soap bottles', on bottles of wine, as a banner in my vtg trailer, but mostly I
hang them from a old wash board that my hubby attached small coffee hooks into.

Grace, I am glad you have a few mini aprons from you friend, Clare. It is wonderful to have something tangible to add to your memories of your dear friend.
I love your stash of mini aprons. They look adorable all grouped together too!

Oh Grace, I remember Clare. SHe was indeed very sweet. Are those the aprons that you can hang on your dish liquid bottle? I had some of those a while back |

My small collection of mini aprons hangs year-round out in my Yellow Rose Cottage. I made a few and the others were gifted to me by Grace "Katmom", Linda "quiltee", and Marilyn "TexasGran". Thanks for the memories.

Thanks for the encouragement. My minis need a good sorting, too - all jumbled in one plastic container.
Love looking at them and hanging them up seasonally.
