For the love of rick rack
The theme for this month's Tie One On apron challenge is Rick Rack.
I meant to make an apron. I really did. But it didn't happen.
My ideas are still fun to share though.
I considered the possibilities:
Add a pattern detail in rick rack, like on this vintage girl's smock pattern.
Or make a design out of rick rack, like the heart on this bag
(from Wrights Idea Book of Trims, 1972)
But I decided, no, I was most inspired by this amazing shawl made by Patti Pasteur
(from the Sept/Oct 2006 issue of Belle Armoire Art to Wear Magazine)
See the fringe? It is varying widths of lace.
So I wanted to make an apron with a fringe of my rick rack scraps, plus some extra wide rick rack that I've seen in quilt shops lately.
It would be fun and festive.
But, sigh, it didn't happen.
Not yet, anyway.

Well, you're busy being famous and all, so surely we can let it slide this month, RIGHT?
When I saw that shawl, I almost let out an audible 'oof', as if someone punched me between the shoulders. Call it the shock of the marvelous.
It still might happen! Hold on to the dream and make it a reality. It sounds like a great design idea.
oh-that smock pattern kills!!!
