This sweet apron features Joel Dewberry Sparrows from the Aviary collection and two coordinates. I have to say I spent an obscene amount of time on what should have been a pretty easy apron. I now affectionately measure yards of bias binding in "light-yards" (like light-years) which is equivalent to the amount of yards of bias binding it FELT like I made.

What a sweet apron - I can see myself baking cupcakes with that on!
Your blog is so cute! I love the design - very chic!
I love you because 1) you're in CO and that's where I'm from! 2) you're a birth professional, and I have three boys (#1 c-section) and #2 and #3 were VBACs!!!!
What a GORGEOUS! apron!!! I avoid bias tape like the plague.
i love this apron!! the birdies are too sweet and i adore the colors! thanks for the opportunity!
I love aprons. That one is really really sweet. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks for the giveaway!
that is a stunning apron. love it!
That is gorgeous! I love the color combo. I hope I win!!
So gorgeous! I loved your "light-yards" comment - very creative and fun!
The contrast between the fabrics is just stellar. A job well done - I've been there, done that on the bias tape. Stinks !
I'm the most messiest in the kitchen. I think I need this one.
I love aprons - mostly I make them - I'd love to wear one I didn't make!
Thanks for the opportunity -- Megan

I have a friend who collects aprons so I've been looking for contests where I might win one for her - this one, with the sparrow, is so nice I want it for myself
Lovely apron. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's such pressure to post a witty or memorable comment. Sheesh! I'll share what's playing on my ITunes player right. It's a funny little combination:
Hi Five, "Just another Girlfriend"
Biz Markie "Just a Friend"
I did a search on "Just a friend", and those two came up.
Now that is a beautiful apron. I'd keep it for myself but my sister (who loves handmade items of all kinds) has been wanting an apron!! :)
I just recently found out about the Joel Dewberry line and was instantly hooked. This is a great way of showcasing the print while baking cupcakes or something lighter for summer, strawberry shortcake or a cobbler?
The sewing kit you found at the antique store is really cute. There's a pattern in Sew Darn Cute that's similar to this that I've been wanting to make.
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway, it's wonderful!!!
Love the Joel Dewberry. little birdies with me in the kitchen with I am cooking and baking away!
Aprons and birds! How come they go so well together? It is a beautiful apron!
Wow - those fabrics look lovely together. I've been getting into baking lately - an apron would be great!
I keep saying that I am going to make an apron so that I stop wiping my hands on my pants or my kids, but I should probably just enter for this super-cute one. Who knows when I would get around to making one!! Shawna:)
Fabulous apron, I could gush on about it for ages :) Fingerscrossed I've worked out the time differences correctly and I get my entry in on time!!
I love the Joel Dewberry Sparrow fabric that you used for this awesome apron.
What a pretty apron--please count me in!
Aprons and bias trim are sooooo time-consuming! But so worth it. Love your color combo. I'm the queen of aprons and would love to add another one to my collection! s_soapeatyahoodotcom
LOVE this giveaway--please enter me, I'd love to win!
The apron is lovely and it sounds like your sewing went like mine often does--taking a bit too long for what it is.
I love your daughter's moniker for where you were staying for your family reunion--"Ho and Tell". Was she trying to say something about the neighborhood? ;-) It sounds kind of like it should be a place for group therapy for hookers. (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
Did you get this apron patter out of the book "A is for Apron"? I think I just finished making the exact same apron, except your fabric is so much cooler, but I know what you mean about making miles and miles of bias. Thanks for the giveaway.
thanks so muchfor the generous giveaway!
i just made my daughter an apron and i'm a horrible seamstress. she tried to act all surprised and happy, but it was awful! i should send you a picture of it for a good laugh. i put ruffles all over it and it looks like someone barfed all over it.
my mom taught a sewing class but didn't like us very much so she taught perfect strangers instead of us. i'll have to go take a class from someone else's mom!!!

Cute apron! Thanks for offering something so lovely! Very generous. I was thinking today in my studio that an apron might be a good idea. I was doing some block carvings and printing them on fabric. I live in Colorado, too, so if I"m so lucky to be chosen, your postage won't be too bad!
your post reminds me of a bag i made with friends. some finished in 2 hours!! took me about 10 hours across a few days... every mistake possible.
