Mima, Mima, your our girl, you can do it!,,,(envision~katmom w/colorful pompoms, Cheering you on)  
Have fun. The great thing about aprons, is there is no right or wrong style, and each apron takes on it's own personanlity. Mine range from fussy fancy to slap together (rectangle w/a grossgrain tie)but they are fun none the less. Remember,they are to be worn, used & abused, loved & cheerished.
Now go play w/UR fabric & (to quote EllynAnne) go "tie one on, an apron of course"! Hmmm, maybe wear an apron while you are sewing an apron will give ya that extra energy whilst
being creative!

Hey Kathie,
Yea, DIL is 30 years old and has always suffered from the migranes and this is the first med that has shown promise and she's lost almost 15 pounds to boot!! This is one of the side effects of the drug...It actually is a multifaceted drug and being used in many different areas. We really live in a great time with all the "curious scientist" being paid to discover more about what makes the body tick.

I bet your DIL will see such a huge difference even more & more as time goes on..

I just hate having to be out of commision over something so crippeling & stupid..
But what a Huge improvement being on Topomax has made for me..
Ya just have to wait it out really..

Here is the apron that I finished yesterday. The teapot fabric is one of my all time favorite fabrics.

The poka dot side needs something at the top, I think. Any suggestions? |

Sharon -- That is such a pretty apron -- reversible is cool! -- what is the back of the neck like? Does it just slip over the head?

I decided to jump in and try to make my first apron. I fell in love with these two prints when I saw them and they matched so well. And of course, I HAD to use rickrack! My next attempt will be an apron with a bib...

Carol Sue- they are adorable- kids and aprons!!!(watch your mail box-I sent you a tiny surprise)
Great job Sharon & Rachael- you'll be dreamin aprons now
Can't wait to see yours Mima!!
Hi to everyone else!
I am a comitted quilter- thinking of starting a thread in that direction- is there one that should be bumped or would a new one be best?
By the way Naomi- I am dangerous around a quilt shop!!!
I have to touch every piece and can think of hundreds of projects while in one. If I keep reading this forum I'll never get my projects done
