Description:

This swap is for all us 'yee-haw' cowboy, horse, western lovin folks! Texans are cordially invited. No greenhorns need apply! just kiddin...

A few rules.... -This is a group swap only, the password is on our forum page. -The fabric must reflect a western life theme.... This means cowboy/cowgirl/horses/branding irons, etc. Think 'Marlboro man,' not 'apples in baskets.' If you want to receive an 'apples in baskets' country type fabric, put it in comments or on your profile.

-This is for a handmade apron.

-You will swap one full apron as cowboy cookin gets a might bit messy! Important...read your partners profile for size! Or post your size in comments. Size does matter in full aprons. I have decided to include half aprons too. Just please put in what you prefer.

-The apron must have at least one pocket

-Include 2 cowboy type recipes (this means something easily made in a pot out on the open range.) Ideas are : chili, one pot dinners, cobblers, BBQ sauce recipes, Beer in the rear chicken, etc.

Any extra goodies are up to you. Please package nicely.

Head 'em up and move 'em out!

I'll go first. I wear a small. I prefer fabric with cowboys,cowgirls, horses, branding irons, etc. Teepees, etc are cute too!

I am a size 8 and love full aprons that are different. I am a girly girl but not crazy about a lot of ruffles. I am not into traditional cowboy print fabric. But I love to apron swap! I would prefer some tpye of bandana print, paisleys or western toile. It doesn't have to be the traditional colors. I Love PINK. I am a girly gir. I'm sure my partner will come up with something wonderful. Blessings...

Full or half makes no matter to me. I am size 8/10 and I am not much of a cowgirl...so go where ever your creativity takes you! I haven't met an apron I didn't like;)

Frankenpug 04/ 4/2008 #

I also recommend www.hatrsfabric.com for western prints...select cotton prints->western and cowboy fabric.

yarnigras 04/ 6/2008 #

there is a ton of bandana and western paisley print out right now for those who aren't into the 'cowboy riding the range' type print. 8-)

bean 04/ 7/2008 #

I'm a size small/medium, and I like anything cowgirl/pinup/rockabilly/western/kiddie western/ - full or half, doesn't matter :)

This is just too much fun to pass up. I wear an X-Large (44 bust) and I prefer to wear full aprons because cooking is messy. I checked out the site that yarnigras listed above as I had no idea what fabrics may be available. I love the bandanna and paisley prints, Tee pees, kiddie or anything that looks like it was from the 1950's. Or my partner may surprise me and re-interpret the "Hittin' the Trail" theme.

I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday. They had a new shipment of several 'cowboy and western' themes....all at 30% off. They had cowboy hats, horse shoes, cowboys riding broncos, 2 or 3 different bandana type fabrics, 3 horse fabrics (not new)..... Thought you'd all like to know if you have that store nearby.

yarnigras 05/ 1/2008 #

okay peeps.....I got us a purty picture to put on our sites.....that is Annie Oakley's actual horse in the photo....pretty neat. I don't know if Annie wore aprons to cook in...maybe to SHOOT in?

NanaDeb 05/ 1/2008 #

That is a great picture:D She might not have worn aprons, but, she is a good representative of the "Old West". Thanks Yarnigras.

Thanks for the oppertunity to join this great swap. I am all about cowboy, cowgirl, and western, any and all things. I grew up with horses and rodeo's. It's great to be from Texas. I am a size XL, a full apron would be nice but will be happy with anything. Excited to get started with this swap. Pam

Soutxcc.....happy you are here!

sauvageblue 06/16/2008 #

Hi there everyone love the theme, I am a size medium and I love full aprons and I love half aprons, smile! I love aprons! I love bandana and western paisley prints. Vintage prints, cowboys & cowgirls broke-in, like a western version of shabby chic, does that exist? smile...

TommysMommy 06/24/2008 #

I am so excited for this swap. I love cowboy fabric!

bean 06/25/2008 #

I'm a S/M and I'd prefer western cowgirl/cowboy theme over country, but I'll be happy with whatever my partner sends! <3

Jennsue 06/25/2008 #

I am a small I'd prefer western cowgirl/cowboy theme over country. I am sure what ever is made for me will be wonderful.

yarnigras 06/25/2008 #

I'm getting so excited! yee-haw!

rebeccaljames 06/25/2008 #
