It's time for "Must Be Santa Monday," so join already, will you? Don't tell me you don't have anything to post about Christmas!

When I saw this fabric, I couldn't resist. I had no idea what I planned to do with it, but then it hit me: a friend of mine (she won't see this--she doesn't read blogs) is a big fan of "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
So I made her an apron. I had enough fabric left to make one for myself, too, although at the rate I'm going my own will be finished next year, LOL!
The bias binding is candy-cane striped, and I made it myself. Making binding is a pain, but it's so cute when you're done.
The apron is from the book "A is for Apron," and the pattern is "Lemon Meringue," sans pockets. I really do need to make something else from the book, but I like this pattern. It's easy and very flattering--no gathers at the waist!
BTW...the green blouse is my Christmas top, so far.
More news: I cashed in my quarters for an Amazon.com gift card via Coinstar. Can you believe I had over 250 quarters? With some other pocket change, I ended up with about $75. I've ordered a few things, and still have about $25 left to play with later. I took some items out of my cart because the shipping was so high, and stuck with 'eligible for free shipping' items only. I'm danged if I'm going to send someone $22 just to ship a few t-shirts!

Cool pattern and great fabric. And yes bingo will always be just a little guy to me. LOL MB
Very cute fabric! I have a new apron pattern to try soon that I bought in Tennessee. I've never made an apron.
Wow, you had lots of quarters and are spending those coupons wisely! I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to pay for shipping either. Its outrageous how much it cost to mail stuff now, but I guess its cheaper than the gas to take it there... LOL
Nice work on the quarter cash in! I love it! I also love the apron. Totally adorable.
I LOVED your comment on my blog about the kind of dinner I should have, yes I'm going to just say no to a chicken dinner and go with your suggestion sister!
I love it, the apron is so cute. I might try one of those myself. I am trying to teach myself to sew, so this seems like it would be a great project.
