with love apron

on a recent trip to the Big Apple, i was reminded of all the little apples i brought back with me last fall after a visit to the Purl Soho store.  i had purchased a couple of yards of the "farmdale delicious" by Alexander Henry and thought it would be fun to use as the main print for my second handmade apron.  i made this apron for a friend's bridal shower gift, and while i thought about naming this after something apple-related, i decided to name it after the heart covered fabric that was used as the inside lining of the apron.

This little pile would be from all the mistakes I made along the way... with love, of course :)


The venue for the bridal shower - The Rotunda in Union Square

 
  The happy bride to be with her new apron!
Just thought I'd throw this one in there since I'm craving a midnight snack now.  The popovers with strawberry butter (not pictured here) are a must at the Rotunda!
