Retro Aprons in 2011

In June, 2011, after I had my second knee replacement, I decided to sew retro aprons for all the women in the family.

 This is the pattern I selected.

 I bought all the fabric and contrasting fabrics and trims. And then I sewed like crazy!

It was worth it - everyone was delighted with theirs!

 Sarah and Trinity model theirs and hold up the matching potholders I made with leftover fabric and trim.

 Ashley and Addie match perfectly!

Continuing the mother/daughter theme, here am I with my mom.

 Posing together.

 Addie liked carrying her bag around afterward.

 Lisa wasn't there, but I still made her one and mailed it to her.

She took a selfie and sent it to me.

I can't find pictures of Vanessa and Emily with theirs. I know I made one for Vanessa; I remember the striped fabric. But I am foggy about Emily's. However, I can't imagine that I would make one for everyone and leave her out. I'll see if I can't get pictures from both of them.

Cambria's Alphabet Wall

Jessica invited all her friends and family to make an alphabet letter for Cambria's bedroom. Unfortunately, the letters were all gone when I responded that I'd do one. That made me really sad as I wanted to participate in such a fun project for my grandbaby.

But, luckily for me, someone never got their letter R done, so Jessica asked me if I would do it. I used fabric from Cambria's blessing gown and found buttons to match the bow/headband she wore that day.

Simple but elegant - I am pleased with how it turned out. It will look nice here among all the other letters!
