Aprons on the Clothesline
 
1 Attachment(s)
I made this quilt of the fond memories of my Nana and Mom wearing aprons! I remember them hanging on the clothesline to dry in the wonderful cool New England Breeze!

Oh, how precious!! The three little aprons are actually hanging on the line!! I remember my mom and grandma hanging clothes outside to dry too.

A lovely tribute

Very pretty. My Mom always wore a housedress and an apron with a big pocket and crammed it with lots of things. She only took the apron off when she left the house.

Oh! I LOVE this quilt!! Are those real clothes pins? I remember hanging clothes out on a line to dry and taking them in after the Texas sun had bleached the whites even whiter! I wonder if my children even know what a clothes line is (was) now that we live in the city! I'll ask them today. Thanks for sharing this beautiful creation!

Just so adorable. Brings back fond memories because my Mom always wore a pretty apron. You also used my favorite colors.

I love it. I have aprons my Nanny made for me and for herself. I made one for my Mom with a (dresden) turkey on it.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! I wonder if your children remember? I bet they do! Yes they are real clothespins 1-inch in size!

Tweety2911 09-17-2012 09:26 AM

Beautiful! Stirs up happy memories for me too!

dhanke 09-17-2012 09:36 AM

I love it! My grandma always had an apron on when she was at home. Ironic how they are "back in style" again. I really like how you mixed the batiks and traditional apron fabrics, and those mini closthespins are simply adorable!

Great quilt and wonderful memories.

laffygiraffe 09-17-2012 10:52 AM

I am a channeling my "inner Grandma" by having a line to hang clothes on and wearing aprons myself. I collect them.
Some are too fragile to wear.
I love this quilt. It is a perfect modern rendition of an old cozy idea and just made me smile.

jojosnana 09-17-2012 11:00 AM

A beautiful quilt. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Diane007 09-17-2012 11:33 AM

very creative....

DogHouseMom 09-17-2012 12:44 PM

Bravo!!! I love the originality of this quilt, and the execution is spot on!! The 3D aprons are gorgeous and I love the HST blocks behind them that mimic beams of sunlight coming through the trees. Well done!!!

Floralfab 09-17-2012 12:56 PM

Wonderful! My mother always wore an apron too.

sewgarden 09-17-2012 01:01 PM
