Gladiola Montana has a quote in her book, "If you've done it, it ain't braggin'." I don't know if she is real or a pseudonym, but I like her point of view.
With that in mind--I have now made about a dozen MJ No-Frill Frilly Aprons! With the exception of my own, all have been gifts. For Christmas, I made each lady in the Cast-Iron Butt Club (our pack-in riding group) one in her color. The orange one was tough! I gave some others as Christmas gifts also. I even made a Mother-Daughter set. I had Staples enlarge the pattern sheet 200% instead of the 400% and it worked great. I donated one to the Church raffle for the Womens Ministries. I made a cool, Retro one for a friend going through chemo for breast cancer. It's a golden yellow (my least favorite color in the whole, wide world) with line drawings of cowboys and horses. For the ruffle I found the same color fabric with wavy lines. Perfect coordination. Come to find out, Glenda likes yellow! Now I have two wedding showers coming up and there is a lady in our church who is home from overseas for cancer treatments. I just had this nudge to make her an apron, so I called her sister to find out what Mistie's favorite color is (purple) and she likes to cook! I finished it last night and plan to give it to her on Sunday.
I really like this pattern because I like the design; it's easy to sew up; it's quick to sew up; and I LOVE picking out the colors and coordinating fabrics and matching them up with my friends.
Aren't colors wonderful?

Gues what, girls? On the Table of Contents page in the most recent issue of MJF in the far upper left corner, the placemat is the EXACT same material that I used for the yellow retro horse line-drawing apron! How cool is that!
