Stephanie, I didnt get that moon machine... Oh how much I wanted it, but it got to around $200+ a whole lot of shipping. I just need other things more right now. I am sure another one will come up.

E-, He has another Moon machine listed but not as pristine condition as the other one...it's bid starts at $24.95 I believe with a little over 5 days left on it...The decals and part of the name has worn off on this one but even so it's still a beauty...the shape of it alone makes it worthy of having 
I really like this apron you just posted..What pattern is that?

Oh.... I need to go check that out. Oh how I would love the Moon Machine! That is the No frills frilly apron from MJF. It is the one she is wearing on the cover of the aprons mag. It is cute, but a total fabric hog @ 1.5 yrds per apron.

Elizabeth, so glad to hear all is well. Love all your fabric and that adorable patchwork/ no frills apron. I know I have a pattern for children's aprons, just not sure if it is smock style or not. I'll check today and you are welcome to it if it's anything you'd like.
Carol Sue, yea! for getting pictures up! love your sewing space with plenty of books and cd's!
Bev,I would love a copy of that apron pattern. That is so sweet of you! I am sure I could find some tasty fabric to send along your way!
Hey to Stephanie and Naomi Michelle!
Aunt G, I am a nut for toile...that is just one of my all-time favorite aprons!
Jess,, you amaze me with all those aprons! maybe someday I can just whip them off too! You and your sister are too funny...dying to know what the name of the street is!

Isn't it something else, Denise, to keep caught up with these girls? I don't think they sleep!!
Thanks Amy! I've made a couple before, but I seemed to give them away!

Well..we are a chatty bunch arent we!!!
CArol Sue..nice to see you my dear!!
Bonne...great great great fabric for your reversible..LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
Stephanie...my comp is running really slow..combo of needing defrag and wireless connection having issues...and I have been sewing my hind end off!! Sorry not to respond, but I havent been on comp much...got new treadle..cleaned it really well..polished the wood...learned how to use it and made 6 reversible hard working full aprons on it since saturday night!
Did not sew last night..husband out of town...must have been exhausted...fell asleep nursing my baby(she is not really a baby anymore...nearly 16 months)...woke up at 4:30 am with glasses still on and jeans and sandals!! So, I just trucked my but up the stairs and crawled in to bed..last nights aprons will be today's aprons!!!
Elizabeth...let me know about your new fabric ho-ing..I will go in on some with you too!!!
Who am I missing....???
*****I do have a smock pattern BONNIE...Beemoosie...let me know..oh and I will then let you know her street name! It is funny because with all the sororities and frats in town, it always ends up on their treasure hunt list!!
okay..gotta dress 4 kids and treadle on!!
why? I do not know I can use my other machine so much faster and with better results..i just love to treadle! |

Using a treadle has to be great for your legs/feet! :-)
Wow chickadees, nice aprons all. E, glad to hear of the good news. Since you asked, my swap pal is WickedChik. :-)
This is starting to smell like a possible fabric co-op, dare I say it? *L*

Hi everyone! I love aprons! I think I'll start wearing one everyday for inspiration. :-)
Jess, I don't know who your sister is.....trying to figure that out
Carol Sue! nice to meet you and see your face...my sewing room is my kitchen and living room...no hubby to complain...I watch tv and my son while sewing...:-)
Steph: glad you like the quilt...they are like making a doll quilt so easy and very fun for me.
I have more supplies for preemie quilts....make some more soon. (getting sick machines well first.)

I should have thought about right clicking on the image, especially with 3 computer wizzes in the household.

Sharon, I like that cobbler's apron on your website.....very cute!
Bonnie....will go cut out your pattern and get in the mail today...my mini aprons are going into the mail also, today.
I need to find some of the Amy's apron panels......very cute....slick and quick!
Then to the sewing room to try to reduce my farmgirl apron pattern to child size.
Hopefully time to sew an apron at some point......check in later, girls.

| oh...Linda...one of my sisters is on here but only posted 2 or 3 times..and on weird threads that i do not go on! I think she has only done 1 swap. My other sister thinks we are all very cool, but odd...so she just reads the posts and comes over to ask about stuff!!! She lives vicariously through me! |

Bev. Thank you for your compliments. I made some cobbler aprons to match the adult aprons, but haven't put them up on the website yet. You do awesome work on those aprons.
Now, ladies I inquired at Checker Distributors. Your first order must be a minimum of $250.00, at cost.
Also, a minimum of $1000.00 at cost must be purchased over a 12-month
rolling period to maintain an account
I can easily spend the $250.00, but to have a minimum of $1,000 per year of purchases seems over the hill. I probably have spent that, when all added up, but seeing the number hit me like a rock.
Forgot to mention the other information:
There is a packet that they give you to download, so that you can send in the needed information.
Once we have received a of copy your business information and a copy of
your Tax ID number, we will send you our catalogs. In the meantime, you
are welcome to browse our Online Store at www.checkerdist.com.

I just wish that I knew what their prices are. I know that with my other fabric sources, that only customers can see the price/yd.
I am wondering if their prices aren't much different than what I already pay.
