I'm looking for a source for aprons that are blank. I want to do the embroidery. I've checked Embroider This and they only have children's aprons. I'm not looking for free items but I don't have the time to make the aprons so this will be a short cut

Here's another prayer request! Our oldest daughter has marfan's syndrome. To put it simply, the connective tissue in her body is weak. The big concern is that the aorta will dissect from the heart! We were made aware of this from her early teens and she
No...I did not raid Toogie's fabric stash! Anyway, since I saw how sweet her hearts looked I thought I'd stitch some for Valentine's Day; it may end up being a gift. The large heart is done in my 200X200 hoop and I show it placed on a luncheon plate (8
