Apron Inspiration - cross post

This is a cross-post from my other blog.
Awhile back I was noodling around at Like A Warm Cup of Coffee and she was doing an apron give away from Flirty Aprons.  You have to check them out - they are sooooo cute!
I did not win the freebie, but was inspired to dig out a pattern I had bought back before Christmas to make my own!  So when my Mom came up for a visit on Saturday, we hit the fabric store and I splurged and bought some GORGEOUS Legacy quilting fabric to make myself a pretty apron.

My daughter J has been hanging around with me in my sewing area and says I will be stylin' when I make dinner in this beautiful creation! 




And one of the side benefits is that I love to sew anyway and with sales, coupons, & discounts - my apron cost $12.50 to make.

One of my favorites

This is one of my favorite projects.  It is called "Carpenter's Wheel" and I made this as a wall-hanging for my parents.  It now hangs in their kitchen.  It is machine pieced and hand quilted.
