I love aprons! I make them to wear. I make them as gifts - and as is often the case with my quilts, they usually end up hanging on the wall as art! They are great for grilling, for wearing as a hostess, for gardening -- they are so feminine. I just love them! Younger people who receive them are particularly fascinated. The men, too!
I'm attaching some photos of a patriotic apron I made for my young neighbors - and the recipients wearing them - the man's apron features a "Roadkill Grill" motif! Also a Valentine's Day apron I made for my son's girl friend.
