"Recipe" for Brightening up the Kitchen

Start with a bright and lively print:
Cut and piece with other vivid prints - polka dot fabrics are highly recommended "ingredients" for this....

Next, take those fabrics and combine with a lovely design such as Meg's Emmeline apron.

Now, cut up an out of style wool coat and add the patchwork pieces, a custom quilted lining and binding to make some zippy looking oven mitts.

Ta-da! Now wasn't that a simple way to brighten up your winter kitchen?

(Best part of this apron design is being able to reverse it whenever the mood strikes or a spill happens ;o)
