An apron for Kayla ~
Michelle asked me to make an apron for her daughter (who this past summer celebrated her 1st year of marriage). I tried to make a couple for her but it just didn’t hit her fancy spot.
Then she had the wonderful idea of sending me a table cloth that belonged to her grandmother to use as the base.
It was challenging for me to find the right elements to compliment the colors in the tablecloth but I finally found some pieces that I felt worked well together.
I made this charm for Michelle to give her daughter, Kayla, last year

Another beauty! They will both be pleased. The tablecloth idea is precious, and the elements you used to accent it couldn’t be better.
This is one of my favorites! I love the colors in the tablecloth and the accents you chose.
Wow! I’ll take that as a real compliment from you, sweet daughter! >
Elaine, I wanted to let you know that I have received my Mary Jane Farmgirl necklace. I just love it! It is beautifully made. On to the apron… what a cute apron! I, too, am an apron maker. I will have to try my hand at making an apron out of a tablecloth. Thank you again.
Just wanted to let you know that I am just tickled to death with my MJF necklace! It was just prettier than I had imagined! Your aprons are just too cute. I have so many old table cloths and linens that I just haven’t been able to dicide what to do with the one’s with holes……You have stirred my imagination! Thanks for the beautiful handiwork on the necklace and your speedy delivery. Much success to you! Farm Girl #61
The apron turned out wonderful! I’m sure she’ll love this one!
What a wonderful remembrance the necklace is!
