To MargeD: Our home Ec. class must have shared the same curriculum because I still have my red/white gingham apron with my name hand embroidered on the bib and rick rack around the two pockets. You should have seen how horrible my stitches were back then. I made it on a featherweight and my stitch lengths were all over the place. How it all began...

No wonder my DIL looked at me funny - when I wanted to put ric rack on a doll on a quilt::: She said that it was a little old fashioned but I still like it and did it anyway:::Does remind me of home and I think your right Wanabee - must be the generation!!!!

When I see rick rack I think of the Lanz dressed that were popular in the early 60's. I couldn't afford one, but found a similar floral stripe fabric, trimmed it with white rick rack and made my own. Friends thought it was the real thing. Ü
