Was going to make a wall quilt for my kitchen, but this turned into an apron for the owner of the restaurant in our small town. Hope she likes it. Was hard to find a "model" for my apron, so I pinned it to the box fan in my living room, always looking for new uses for things. What do you guys think?????

It's really cute! I love food fabrics. You have some brilliant ones there! The background makes the jars pop! Great job!
|
Looks great, Kellie! The fabric is so fun to look at.
|
I think the cook will be proud to wear and you are so thoughtful making it for her.
|
Very nice!!! So do you get to eat there at a discount now?
|
AWESOME :D :D :D I love the wood shelves and various sized jars, they are wonderful with the black fabric :D :D :D You better get dinner, pie and coffee when you give this to her :wink: :wink: :wink:
|
It's absolutely wonderful - it will be the talk of the town!
|
I think it looks great--love, love, love the indian corn jar!
|
I think she would be crazy not to just love this apron! So cute!
|
I saw a quilt posted with the jars and really liked it too...a future to do list item.
I also have the wood fabric that you used for the shelves...also bought some sky fabric from the site. |
I love it!!! What a great idea to make an apron! You still should do a wall hanging for yourelf!
|
Oh my goodness! How adorable is that???? Yes, I second that, make your wallhanging too.
The name escapes me at the moment, but there's a new line of vegetable and fruit prints coming out or is out. I gravitate to the more realistic looking prints and yours looks edible. How perfect for the restaurant owner and so generous of you to make that for them. (Pppssttt---I'm the head chef in my kitchen and I can get my clothes awfully stained. Just sayin', that's all. :P ) |
This is so cute! She is going to get tons of compliments! You should make a couple extra and see if she would sell them for you.
|
very cute, love the material.
|
I like it. Great job. sure She will love it.
|
It would have been a great wall hanging, but it's going to be a wonderful apron.
|
That is so beautiful. I would love to wear it but then I would hate to dirty it. It is gorgeous.
|
She'll love it!
|
what a cute idea. i love it
|
I think it's really cute!!
|
Really cute...and you should be getting some discount eating at that restuarant!
|
She will have soooo much fun wearing that wonderful apron. It is adorable and no one else has one like it. Your ears will be burning for month with all the compliments that she will receive.
|
What a great idea for those fabrics! I love it!
|
That is too cute. I bet if you made a couple more maybe with pockets you could sell them fast.
|
this is absolutely adorable !!!
|
Great job Kellie, and the fabric is perfect! I'd wear it!
|
I love food fabrics and canning jar quilts and wallhangings but never thought to make an apron from them. Great apron and great idea! Hmmm, now I know what to do with some of the hundreds of canning jar blocks I have.
|
That is very cute, I am sure she will love it.
|
I think she'll love it! I would.
|
Wow, that's fantastic. You could make a living selling those!!

Nice apron and use of food stuff fabrics ...
Lucky restaurant friend! |
I think you should sign this one in permanent marker. I bet more people will be wanting one!
|
A friend of mine made me a food jar wallhanging and she said it was a bugger to make - I have wanted to make one for the school cafeteria to hang on their walls for decoration but after hearing her say it was a bugger I have been pushing the thought away...
Did you find it also to be not so fun to quilt? Yours came out beautifully! (okay, so did the one my friend made me) |
I love jar quilts. This one is a great apron.
|
You did a wonderful job! - I want to make one - I love the food fabrics!
|

The jars are paper pieced, I will admit that I did not "quilt" it at all, this is a reversible apron and the back was a solid piece of "food" fabric. When I make my wall hanging I will be adding "books" to the shelves to make it more realistic, they are paper pieced as well. |
