tie one on

a new theme is coming very soon!

I promise! I just need to talk to my husband.

The Rhinestone Cowboy Gallery is up!

The Rhinestone Cowboy arpons are up and they are pretty incredible. Please have a look and show your love! Can you believe this amazing apron by Annette?!

Tie One On is going to take a little break from August-early September. I will be back with a new theme sometime in Mid-September.

Have a wonderful rest of the summer and get ready to sew some aprons in the fall! Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, you all are awesome.

the gallery will be up soon!

Hi there apron makers!

I will put the amazing Rhinestone Cowboy aprons up in the gallery this weekend! Thank you so much for your submissions!

A new theme will be forthcoming, stay tuned. I need to talk to my husband.

New Theme - Rhinestone Cowboy

Okay!

The people have spoken and the new theme is Rhinestone Cowboy!

You can find info here if you are not familiar with the 1970s song. Oh, Glen Campbell.

You can also read the enthusiastic comments in this post regarding this theme. It seems there are many BeDazzlers out there itching to be used. 

These aprons will be due August 1st. You can just e-mail me the jpeg and and links you want me to add, and/or additional information about your sparkly creation.

Have fun and get your bling on!

The Spring Showers Gallery is up!

The gallery is up, and it's wonderful! As I type this we are having a rainstorm in Portland, as usual, and I am sure wishing for that Spring sun. Isn't this submission from Beverly so sweet?! Please take a look at all the submissions and be sure to leave comments.

Okay, I am still taking suggestions for the next theme. I will also talk to my husband, who has come up with some really goods ones before, although I usually don't use them. They often involve 1970s tv shows.

Stay tuned for the next theme announcement! And you can read about the theme process right here.

the gallery for June will be up soon!

thank you for your submissions!

I will put the aprons up in the new gallery this weekend.

And the next theme, what should it be? Any suggestions? You can take a look at all the past themes here. Wow, there's been 34 themes! That's a whole lot of aprons.

Spring Showers deadline extended!

Hi there apron makers!

Wow, these weeks have flown by so I want to give you all a little more time. So, let's say June 1st! Thanks for what you all have sent so far, they look wonderful!

 

The Floral Fun aprons are up!

Thank you all so much for your wonderful the Floral Fun aprons! Here's a detail shot from Jennifer E and you can see them all in the gallery. Please take a look and leave comments and don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail if I am missing anyone or any links.

The new theme is in the previous post, I hope you have fun with it!

New Theme—Spring Showers

Okay then! Spring is coming!

I have been loving greys and yellows together for a long time and wanted to use it for a theme. So I bring you Spring Showers, mixing both grey cloudy skies and yellow spring time sun. Now, you don't have to use grey or yellow in your apron, do whatever means Spring Showers to you, but I thought using the color combination would be fun. Please feel free to interpret the theme anyway you want to.

These aprons will be due May 1st, just send me your jpeg and the blog link you would like me to add, if you have one.

 And thank you so much for your Floral Fun aprons! The gallery will be up this weekend.

New Theme—Floral Fun!

This next theme is anything to do with flowers—Floral Fun!

I like to use up what I have on hand, especially after the excess of the holidays, so hopefully this theme will help you all go through your stash and pull out any floral fabrics you might be saving for a special project. 

You can go in many directions with this theme— a floral main fabric, a flower on a pocket, or a non-floral fabric with a floral bias binding. That would be so cute.

These apron images are due March 1st, so you will have plenty of time and by then we will be looking towards Spring! It's seems pretty far away right now.

Hope you all are having a lovely 2012 so far.
