Purpose: This project aims to provide 60 Dining Aprons for the residents of the Stuart Nechako Manor, enhancing their dining experience with bright and cheery designs. Patterns for this project are available at the Quilters Corner. One sewing option has been included with the pattern, but participants have the flexibility to use a printed panel, quilt squares or any bright and cheery material. It is essential to use the pattern included to ensure all aprons maintain consistency in size and style.
Once you have your apron, there are two options for submission:
- Enter your apron(s) into the community class in the Exhibit Building at fair time
- Drop off the apron(s) at the Quilters Corner before August 6th
We aim to display all the aprons donated to the Manor at the Nechako Valley Exhibition
