Howdy!
I seldom use patterns. Most of my quilts are "designed"
by inspiration, the fabric talks, or I see a quilt pic and think,
"this is how'd I'd make that."
An apron, with or without bib, was the first thing we had to
learn in 7th-grade home-ec class. Everyone I knew recv'd one of those,
right before I learned to crochet. <G>
"Reproduction" aprons are very much in style now.
Good luck!

after a stint in the kitchen 8->

I was wondering how many quilters actually *need* patterns for most
things involving just blocks.. I found a lovely apron made of 5"
blocks among my grandmothers things and managed to figure it out
pretty easily. If I drew a picture of it on graph paper and posted
the picture, would most people be able to figure it out? Would anyone
actually be interested would be a better question. It looks pretty
easy.
Not that I expect to get around to this immediately but I thought it
would be a nice thing to share. Depending on what fabrics you chose,
it could be made into a lovely vintage looking thingy or a bright
festive holidaythingy, or just about any color combination
imaginable. After looking at it, I could also whack off the bib part
for just an around-the-waist apron.
Just looking for opinons right now. The sofa seems to be in need of
being held down right now. Maybe I can take my graph paper and
markers and work on something.
