A Little Apron Love


Amy found the. most. amazing. treasure. in Pequot Lakes MN over Christmas,
while antiquing with her mom.
This gorgeous apron had to have been made for someone extra special.
We've never seen such a beauty. 
Organza and gingham!
Can you even stand it?
And the details...ahhh...the details!
Just wait until you see them!!!

THE most gorgeous swiss dotted organza.

Who ever made this actually pulled rows of thread from the fabric
and then twisted them with her stitching.
Simply breathtaking!
Think of the hours this took to make.
And those circles are not buttons, those are stiches too.

We have so many questions for the talented soul that made this.
Who was it for?
Was it a wedding gift?
Did you use a pattern?
What year was this made?
What other sweet things did you make?
I bet she's a quilter too.
Wouldn't it have been fun to be able to sit in her kitchen and talk sewing over a cup of coffee?

Makes us wonder what people might ask about us should anything we make end up in their hands decades from now.
