My mother was a collector of aprons. She wore one when she was cooking and others when she was entertaining.
I was looking at another blog..."Apronista.com" and she's hosting an "apronfest" this week. This got me to thinking about all the aprons I have that were my mother's. I decided to get them out, go relive my memories and then to post some pictures. These aren't the best pictures but I think you'll get the idea. There's a couple where I added a close up of some detail...
There is one more apron that I wanted to share. This is my very first sewing attempt. I had to make an apron in Home Economics. Money was really tight at the time so mother dug out an old mill sack, ripped it open and that is what I used. This apron is 48 years old... I hope you enjoyed looking at these as much as I do. It's part of my heritage...a memory I love to dwell on.
Blessings,

Hi Ketha,
Oh what pretty aprons you have there. Nice photos. I have a couple of my moms too. I'm sure they all have lots of happy memories of the women who wore them.
