I paper pieced the apron by stamping the image onto some Basic Grey patterned paper. I cut out the images and adhered them so my cardstock mats, stitching around the edges to add a homespun feel. I added strings of tied buttons and pretty pink ribbons.
The inside of my cards read *It's your birthday...tie one one!!* I love the play on words..perfect for that friend that loves aprons!
Boy, all this talk about aprons makes me wanna go whip up something in the kitchen. Hope you're having a great day!

The apron image is so sweet. Love the homespun look and fun sentiment.
These cards are simply gorgeous. Love that old time feel...makes me think of my Grandma... Love it and your paper piecing is fabulous.

Mish - your vintage aprons are adorable. I adore the BG DP you selected for these. Simply sensation!
How adorable! They are so sweet, Mish! There are lots of quilt shops in the Pacific Northwest. You should come out some time! :)

Hello. I found your blog today...it is beautiful with creativity! I am fairly new to stamping and making cards...I have made alter items...
I love the way your bows look! Is there a tutorial to make the bows? I have searched the Internet but have had no luck with ribbons. Thank you in advance for your response!

Both cards are just darling! Makes me want this stamp even more. I'm a sucker for aprons! They're so great for inspiration.
Mish ~ I would LOVE to buy an apron similar to either of those pics - GORGEOUS! And I know your choice in fabrics would be just as beautiful as your choice is papers. Everyone in my house has an apron but ME! And I'm the one who does all of the cooking. Time to stop waiting for them to take the hint and just buy one for myself. Let me know if you're interested astaff at bete dot com.
Thanks,
Andrea
The vintage aprons are just so cute. We had a great article recently in our local paper about aprons. Your work is always so inspiring.

Your cards are so cute! I want to make a real apron that is just as cute!
OMG these are just too GORGEOUS! I love your aprons!
Not only is that apron adorable and not only is that sentiment so fitting and cute but WOWIE on your choice of papers and colors! LOVE these.
Hi Mish, I have a little project in mind and I wanted to send it to you as a little thank-you for all your inspiration. Is it possible to get an address to send it to? I understand you are probably reluctant to give out that information, maybe a PO Box?
I am not a stalker I promise!
Thanks,
Victoria
