The November Tie-One-On apron theme (hosted by Amy), for "vintage aprons" made me remember that I have an apron to share! I made this apron for blog pal Lena, creator of Merryville. It looks vintage, but actually it's a pattern from Indygo Junction, called Cook's Cover-Up #IJ733. The rose fabric was purchased from Shabby Fabrics, a great resource for pretty florals. Must make more!
That apron is so cute! I may have to give it a try (I think I actually have that pattern somewhere). The quiche looks great! I have never had a quiche with shrimp, but yum! Your picture should be in a magaine - it looks so good!

Aww that apron is darling! Love it! That would make a great gift for my older sister... Her Christmas gift is taken care of, but I'll have to keep that in mind for her Bday. You did a wonderful job with it, that's a lovely fabric combination.

My Martha Stewart Christmas issue arrived today and Turkey Feathers has a new post up - does it get any better than this? :) I absolutely love the apron, it's perfect in every way! I really need to plan out a dinner menu and I suspect quiche will be on it :) As always, thanks for the inspiration.

mmm...the quiche looks yummy! i have been watching the quiches with a hungry eye, i love quiche, yet don't make it very often. i have one lactose intolerant daughter, and another daughter and hubby that won't eat it!
on a different note, i did one of the mexican fiesta embroidery pieces and posted photos, and i linked your patternbee site on my blog, and someone linked ME on their blog...i was very thrilled!

I made the crab quiche that you posted a week or two back and got rave reviews. I'll have to try this one next. It sounds like a nice change from all the turkey we'll be eating this week.
Thank you for your blog - it's truly lovely.

I recently turned a friend of mine onto your blog and we're in agreement that it's absolute terrific. I make my daily visit to it.
The apron is so pretty. You are a great friend to make and send it to her. Happy Stuffing Day.

Thanks so much for the links to Indygo Junction and Shabby Fabrics. I love both sites and will, hopefully, find some time to really browse around there soon.
My Pattern Bee order came yesterday, and I'm so excited!! Can't wait to start stitching these up! Thanks.

Quiche is the dinner of choice when my husband's away on business. Love that stuff (he doesn't) I'm definitely cooking this one.

Thank you for that wonderful recipe. I just made the quiche for my Mom and Grandma and we all loved it and it truly was easy!
