Two Down... One to Go (PIX)

[rebbetzin]

My cousin is getting married, in a few days now. She will soon have two young step daughters.
I decided as a wedding gift to make them matching aprons.

Here are the two I have done so far... I used an Aunt Martha iron on design.
I used a combination of embroidery and applique on the designs.

First one

Here is the second one

I am thinking of going over the light blue flowers with a shade or two darker blue floss.
The blue is not showing up very well, though the thread matches the blue in the fabric.

Cute! I love those iron-on embroidery patterns, I use them all the time. I think I have that same one.

beautiful work rebbetzin!

My first thought was to make some seven day dish towels. Then, one morning two weeks ago, I woke up with this apron idea for my cousin and her new step daughters. Something to make the girls feel special at what must be a rather stressful time for them.

I think these will do the trick. Nothing makes you feel more special than to receive something so beautiful that is handmade. Very nice! Now I am wanting one too!

that will be a really nice gift. The gifts I like the most are the ones somebody took the time to make for me, it says that they care.
P.S superb craftsmanship!!
