Rick Rack & Polka Dots

Oh, how I LOVE APRONS! They treat my heart to so many wonderful memories like...My precious Gramma Peggie, her warm, sweet smelling kitchen, her strong faith in God, her loving heart, and her melodious laughter...Times past that are dear to my heart!
SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SHIRLEY...OF "Zetta's Apron"
This week I have been stitching up something special for the very first person who left a comment on my new blog. Her name is Shirley from "Zetta's Apron" blog. In a loving tribute Shirley has dedicated her blog to her Grandma Zetta's memory. I was so touched by this that I thought it would be most appropriate to make an apron in honor of her Grandmother. Shirley loves the color RED (like me) and she has a penchant for polka dots. My dear Shirley...I hope you enjoy wearing your red, white and polka dot apron in good health!

***AN APRON ISN'T AN APRON WITHOUT A POCKET***

***ALL TIED UP WITH A PRETTY BOW***AND A CUSTOM "Chenille Cottage" LABEL***
 

BLESSINGS, SHIRLEY...I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW APRON!
LOVINGLY,
CAROLYNN   xoxo

How so VERY sweet and so thoughtful of you to make an apron for her! I love the apron and the fabric that you used. I am catching up with your posts - life has been rather hectic here for me, leaving not much time to access the computer.

Off to read more posts.

Dear Carolynn,
I love aprons too, especially vintage ones or those made to look vintage. What a lovely gift for the lucky lady who left the first comment, and in a beautiful red 30s print! I look forward to seeing more of your new blog :)

Beautiful job on the apron, lucky Shirley! My Grandmothers wore aprons all the time, and pockets are a must indeed. Your blog is so sweet.
