NOTE: About comments…I have my comments on approval. So it may take a while to post. Dont worry I look several times a day! If any of you have had any experience with “unsavory” characters posting comments, you understand this! So happy all you apron wearers are stopping by!!!
I first heard about National Apron Day over at MaryJanesFarm…duh. Where do I get ALL my information??? Anywho, I pretty much wear an apron all day everyday…cept when I run into town. And I have been know to get there and realize I haven’t taken it off! I have a variety of aprons as you have seen on this website. I am finishing up one for an apron swap I am in over on MJF and then I am making one to GIVE AWAY right here on NotQuiteJuneCleaver! All you have to do is leave me a comment between now and Mother’s Day, May 13. I will copy your name onto a piece of paper and put it in a mason jar. On the morning of May 14, National Aprons Day I will have one of the children draw a name. The prize is a handmade apron NotQuiteJuneCleaver Original (always check the pocket for something extra)!
Now here are some buttons I made. Thanks to Patricia over at MJF for the great catch phase!
Have a great day!
And remember: Life gets messy…wear your apron!
Working on more banners!
I just love aprons! As most us farmgirls do. Thanks so much and have a wonderful week!
Hi fellow farmgirl!
What a wonderful contest to hold. Please enter my name. A girl can’t ever have too many aprons, can she?
~~Anne
Sew much fun! I do adore your aprons — and love the Apron-Vote phrase!! If only the country were run by apron-wearing women. . . . well, we’d be in sweet pickles, for sure! love — katie
I’m a apron fan too and would love to have one of yours for my collection, so please add my name and thanks for the giveaway!!
I love aprons! Hopefully I will finish my first by National Apron Day. I rely on my grandmothers hand-me-downs for now. Those buttons are so great! Thanks for having the drawing!
Mandi aka Threebusybees
Oh please put my name into the drawing. I would love to have one of your aprons. Knewslady from Mary Janes.
Great blog. I would like to be in the drawing, too. thanks. MB
I’m apron deficient, so even though I’m your apron partner, I’d like to sign up for your drawing! Aprons just seem to give that extra little bit of comfort. I don’t know why, maybe it’s remembering my grandmas and great grandma wearing them, so it gives me that link back to them.
Put my name in for the apron…I’m so excited that they are making a comeback!
what a way to celebrate being a farmgirl. thanks so much!
HI!!! This is so sweet of you!!
Yes! please enter me in the drawing for the apron!!

Susan, I would love for you to put my name in your apron giveaway drawing. What a nice thing to do. I have seen examples of your beautiful aprons and I know the lucky winner will have a real treasure.
I don’t have an apron. Now that I’ve got my own little homestead, I sure do need one.
Jamie
I love it… that more and more women are returning to the simple, basic feminine traditions!
I can see myself already wearing your apron! Happy Mother’s Day to you all!

I love aprons and I wear mine a lot (messy cook).
Maybe it’s a farmgirl thing!
I just love aprons. I have a couple of cutie’s hanging up on display. Just bought a book through Country
Women Magazine about Aprons.
You will see a apron on me while cooking dinner.

I never win anything-but that never stops me from trying. One of these days my ships going to come in-and I bet it will be via mason jar (just MY style!) Please add my name to the list! 😉
Rebecca from Renaissance
Tried once, I’ll try again because I am a persistent little buggar.
I would love to be entered into your contest and I would LOVE to have one of your aprons! I never win anything, but that doesn’t stop me from trying. One of these days, my ship is gonna come in and I can’t think of a better way than by mason jar! 😉
Thanks for your generosity! Love, Rebecca from Renaissance
I love your site. So retro. I do not have an apron of my own, so thanks for the opportunity to try & win one. Please add me.
Thanks Kelly (FarmGirl~K @ MJF)
Woohoo, a day to wear an apron. I’ve got a cute one I made last month that I’ll wear all day 🙂 Yay for giveaway too, I’d love to toss my name in the jar if there’s still room 🙂
Hi NQJC, lol!
I left you a note (@ MJF) that I would also like to have my name tossed in the mason jar….. like we say , ‘ a gal can never have enough aprons’.

Please enter me in your Apron give away…
Thanks
Ooo ooo enter me. A girl can never have too many aprons, right?
Happy National Apron Day for Monday! I really must get around to making myself a cute apron before then.
I’d love a new apron, please include my name in your mason jar!!! Thanks.
I surfed over from ~vicki’s…and I think I will play along…and post an apron next Monday. Thanks for the heads up on this one!!!!
Puttin’ you on my bloglines…
City girl, apron wearer!
We are messy too!
Love your site! Please enter my name. I’ll be wearing my apron while sitting at my desk at work, on the computer, wishing I was at home, wearing my apron in front of the kitchen sink. Sigh, wish I didn’t have to make a living!!!
Oh, I just LOVE aprons too! Could the National Apron Day please become INTERNATIONAL APRON DAY instead?? I live in Sweden and feel pretty alone in my love of aprons! I hope my name can be added to the jar too!
I read a funny line a little while ago:
NEVER TRUST A WOMAN WITHOUT AN APRON!
I really loved that as I’m the only woman I know of that wears my apron most of the day!
Karin
please would you put me in the jar!
You are kidding! National Apron Day! And I’m just about to add the finishing touches to my “Pocket” apron for Tie One On. I’ll be wearing it.
Such a cute idea! I know I should wear one more often. I’ll have to keep it in mind. 🙂
Gotta love aprons 🙂 I’d love to be entered in your drawing! I found you through Turkey Feathers, and will be back for many visits!
Thanks for your very nice offer!
Dana

Yea for Aprons!!! I am never without one.
Followed the link here from turkeyfeathers…
We just started a farm/homestead, and I’ve quickly fallen in love with aprons, thanks to all the soot in my camp kitchen… at this point I only have a few from thrift stores and free boxes, and I’ve been hesitant to make my own out of fabric I love because I know if I actively use them they’ll be filthy with soot!
super excited about your giveaway:)
What a wonderful idea! I love your blog name! It always makes me smile!
You are so sweet !
I would love to be entered into your drawing, thank you so much!
: )
I love aprons (and I vote) yours are so great
I’m new at this blogging thing myself, but I can imagine getting unsavory characters’ posts. Anyway, I love the apron holiday idea!

OOOOhhh how exciting! Please include me!!!!!

I come from a family of tea towel tuckers – I have to remind myself to break that habit and use my apron! Looking forward to National Apron Day!!
:0)
I just found your site. I love the title! I’ve been exploring alittle and plan to be back to explore some more. I’ve always liked aprons. Since I’ve started blogging I see there are alot of people who appreciate aprons. Please enter me. I’m having a little give-away too of some art tags I made if you care to stop by.
I just found your blog through a link from Turkeyfeathers. Awesome blog.
Thanks for the info on Apron Day! I love my kitchen apron and i wear it everyday when I am cooking. Saves my clothes from stains, every time!
What a great idea and a wonderful reason to celebrate! I love aprons!
I saw an adorable apron at the antique market in our area but was unable to pick it up at the time. I don’t yet have one but I aspire to have one for everyone hanging on some vintage hooks in our kitchen.
Who knew there was a national apron day? Great idea! I’d love to be the winner of one of your aprons, and I’d surely wear it with pride, too.
I just stumbled onto your webpage from off of the Turkey Feathers sight. I love what I am seeing here. I LOVE MaryJanesFarm as well and I ADORE aprons! Hope I am in time to get in on the big giveaway!
I’ve never heard of such a thing. I will definately be wearing my apron on Monday May 14…Monday is bread baking day! 😉
I simply adore your buttons. Too cute!
I’d love to make my own apron someday, but I’m not that far along in my sewing ablities yet. In the meantime, would you please put my name in your drawing? Thanks!
I also love aprons, and I’d love to win one.
lovely blog…
I love your aprons and your blog. Please enter me in the giveaway. Thank you so much! And yes, I will be wearing an apron on May 14th.
Love your blog. Please enter me in the drawing!
Have a great day!
My Gran wore an apron every day too, each one had a pocket to keep her hankie in..I still have some of them. I am so glad people are making and wearing aprons again..I love them, and they are so practical as well as being a fashion statement! Thanks and please enter me into the draw, Diane L
Oh, how wonderful to know about National Apron Day, and how kind of you to honor it in this way!
How wonderful this idea is catching fire. Yes, I made a comment at maryjanesfarm about this! I hope everyone photographs their aprons and the various places you wear them. Be bold!
I don’t have an apron. I’d really like one, but I’m not sure how I would introduce it to my family. Like, how do I go from never hav’g mentioned want’g one (it’s a secret “want”) to all of a sudden, mak’g one, or go’g out and buy’g one? Hmmmmpf!
Kindly add my name to your jar. I love aprons; my son and husband have their own for times when they cook. My son is cooking dinner for me on Mother’s Day ( he makes an awesome chicken marsasla). Aren’t I lucky?
What a fun blog this is, I’m so glad I discovered it. And please enter me in your apron drawing, although it looks pretty full already! I need one especially right now as I am expecting a baby this summer and something about pregnancy seems to bring out the slob in me!
Elisabeth
Love your blog! And I love aprons!
Please enter my name – I love aprons!
Hi…please add my name to the drawing! What fun…a whole day set aside to celebrate aprons. My favorite is the gingerbread men apron my mother-in-law made for me years ago!
I just ‘discovered’ your lovely blog. In my country, the Netherlands, you rarely see an apron these days. People seem to think that it is realy old fashioned. Somethimes I answer the door with one of my proudly worn aprons on, and people start lauging or get shy. Well; Its MY uniform ! And it is so practical.. The good side of it is, that I can easily buy vintage aprons at the triftshop overhere, nobody seems to want them, haahaa!
On the internet I found out that there are millions of woman that also love aprons, real sisters, and I am not alone anymore…
Aprons are the best!! Please put my name in the jar too! Thanks!
How exciting. I homeschool my two boys, and when we bake, they like to wear their blue and yellow aprons. Definitely sign me up for the draw.
Cheers
Such Fun! Thank you for an enjoyable blog!
yes please … oh yes please.
Love aprons, love your blog ( have just found it )

I would love to be entered for a chance to win an apron from you – how lovely of you to offer the giveaway!
I would love to be entered into your drawing! I just love aprons and will be wearing mine with pride on May 14th for sure! 🙂
I love aprons!
Thanks for the chance to own something pretty!
National Apron Day! Who knew? Well, me now. You can bet I’ll be wearing one of mine.
You’re so sweet to be holding a giveaway! I would love to be included. Thanks!
Oh please add me to this list i so love aprons.
Your aprons are absolute gorgeous and I’d love to be in the drawing if at all possible. I’m from Sweden, but I hope that won’t be a drawback,
Carola
How fun! Being a messy person, aprons are a must!
One can never have too many aprons!
I have been seen removing my apron in the grocery store parking lot. Who could not use one more?
Oh, I love to wear an apron while cooking on Sundays!
I recently made my first two aprons. One was a gift for my niece for her 20th birthday (she loves to make cookies) and then the 2nd I had to have for myself! Love your blog.
I would love to enter your giveaway. I love MJF. I started a farm girl chapter for myself, mom, sisters and my daughter. And it turns out that mom and sisters moved away. Right in a neighboring town next to Moscow, ID. So my chapter consists on Daughter and I. LOL
Have a great day!
Tina Kay
OMGoodness! I don’t think I’ve ever signed up for a give-away with so many others before. How fun! I’m thinking of doing my first give-away to celebrate my 100th post. It will still be a while and I’m trying to figure out what the treasure should be. An apron is a marvelous idea for a give-away and I’m sure yours will be beautiful. xoxo
Aprons are always a good thing in the kitchen. I immediately think of my aunt and grandma cooking at Thanksgiving. Then of course there’s my great-grandmother who always wore one of those larger wrap-around aprons (the ones that criss-crossed in the back). She always had a little something in her pockets. Nowadays I find myself grabbing an apron if I’m gonna be in the kitchen for a while. I like your apron/vote motto. Great!
What a fun giveaway. Please add my name.
Please put me in your drawing. I just love aprons.
Ohh, National Apron Day? I’ll be sure to wear my apron! Please enter me in the contest and make my strings looonnnnggg (I’m fluffy!!). Thanks.

I found you from Vicki at Turkey feathers! I love aprons too! I am also a MJF lover and have her mags and her first book- I want the stitching room for Mothers day! Yippee for aprons!!! I am wearing mine all day on the 14th!~
I am an apron wearing mama, quietly learning to be a keeper at home! My favorite apron right now is a wonderful vintage ‘watermelon’ apron – handstitched with love and very sweet! I certainly don’t expect to win your contest, but thank you for celebrating the humble apron!
Hey Susan,
Looks like things are hopping over here. :o) I just wanted to toss my name in the Mason Jar for an aprom ~ gotta have something to go collect the eggs and veggies with in the yard… and that bread I’m going to get back to baking, gotta have something to wipe my hands on!
Love your blog. Aprons are pretty and very handy. What does it say about the recent past times that they were ever out of style? Thanks.
Linda
Count me in, I LOVE aprons!
What a neat blog, too. I’ll be back to read more!
Please oh please put my name in the drawing. I would just love to win one of your lovely aprons.
If I might hop into that mason jar I would!! This is so generous of you! Thanks, Elise
Hopefully your mason jar is one of those big gallon size ones, cause I want room for my name in there too!
Thanks,
Crystal
I have always loved aprons. It was the first thing my mother ever taught me to sew and I still cherish all the ones my grandmother made me. I would love to be entered into your drawing. I always enjoy your posts. Have a wonderful mother’s day!
Hi!! I would LOVE to enter your giveaway! What fun!

Oooh, enter me! me! pick me! lmbo. Come see my current contest giveaway as well. bloggy hugs!
National apron day, huh? I’ll be wearing mine!
and I’m thinking that because I’m so far down on the list here, my name should be very close to the top of that mason jar and fairly easy to pull out, don’t ya think?!
Me, too! Me, too! I do need a cute apron. Or any apron at all. Desperately. My dry cleaner completely agrees.
I’d love to win an apron….sadly I don’t even own one!
my clothes would all be stained rags if I did not wear aprons! I pretty much wear one whenever I am home to keep clean while I am cooking, cleaning or crafting.
love your site!
I don’t even have an apron…sniff, sniff. I’ve been thinking about making one, but chasing little ones leaves me little time for sewing these days.
Great blog!!
I keep wanting to buy or make my own apron and have yet to get one. So I thought hey might as well give it a shot. Please enter me.
Nikki
I loved reading the comments by all and what an apron means to them. To me it meant I was a grown up able to help with the important work of cooking. I have a special apron now that I take out at Christmas–it is with Spode’s Christmas Tree on it. Love it
Guess what? I don’t even own an apron!! But last week I decided that I was going to sew, not one, but one for all of the women in my family for Christmas this year. I found your blog while I was searching for ideas. It is very sweet and so positive and fun to read. I figure if I start now (I am pretty much a novice seamstress) I may get done by December!
Ooohh! I’d love to win an apron!!
I entered the apron contest at Mommy Life a couple of months ago, but didn’t win. So I’ll enter here too! I love my apron, it was my husband’s grandmother’s.
My daughters, 7 and 8, love to wear theirs as well, my mother made them from vintage fabrics found in my grandmother’s attic. Aprons are a family affair!
I love contests.I also do wear an apron especially when baking cookies.Gretting flour all over me is not my idea of fun!!
I love aprons…but I only have one. The poor thing gets worn every day with no relief. Lol. But I love aprons and would not function well in the kitchen or cleaning house without it. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I love to make, collect and wear aprons! I’ll be wearing one on the 14th for sure!
I’m a fellow apron-wearer and apron-maker! I love them! Lately, I’ve been sewing linen aprons—I call them my Peasant apron… It’s fun.
I just discovered your blog via ‘I have to say’s blog—I’m so glad I did! I’ll be back…
How super cool! Please enter me! Thanks-Becky
Include me with the tons of other ladies who would love to win! Thank you for a nifty idea!
i want an apron!
I love my aprons and am ready for a new one.
Thanks for the contest.
Ah, aprons, the thing that makes my clothes last longer. There’s something about putting on my apron, just makes me want to whip up something tasty! :>)
PLEASE enter me, too! I love aprons and am in sore need~LOL! (((((HUGS))))) sandi
I hope I’m not to late to enter. I’d like to be included in this drawing I just love aprons!
Ah! Aprons. I never think of putting one on when I’m painting. Thus all of my clothes are acrylic-speckled
Thanks for the contest!
Aprons – beautiful and practical. What more could anyone want? I’d love to be entered in your draw.
How fun, pick me please! For my wedding shower in 1968 my ML made me a dozen aprons, everything form organdy to heavy twill. I still have a few not in use anymore just to have. So for my daughter’s shower and her bf shower I’m having the best time making them a dozen too!
I just found you today. I must confess, I’ve never had an apron, but it’s one of the things on my “list” to make. Life is so hectic and I can’t seem to get to everything. Of course it doesn’t help that I love reading these blogs. I’ve been a MJ fan since her first mag. issue. I also live on a farm.
thanks, Hilary
I love the aprons…love the idea of a NATIONAL APRON DAY…oh, my, that’d groovy…almost like they are little beings that come alive at night, hopping off their hooks on the kitchen wall and making mischief….
Please add me to your list of names in the hat for winning one 🙂
Thanks for your great blog – I just discovered you!
Claudia
Came here by way of Randi’s – thanks for this contest – it looks like I’m not the only one who really wants a new apron! 🙂
I just made an apron for a wedding shower gift!

I love aprons! Please can I enter!
Hi, I thought I put my name in already, but alas after scrolling through all 168 previous entries and going cross-eyed it turns out I didn’t. Is it too late to enter?
Thanks!
I have started an apron collection in the past few years and have also begun to collect apron patterns as I come across them. My best find-so far-is a pattern from 1947 that still has the iron-on transfers for the hot dog that goes in the middle of the apron and the dachsunds that stand up on the pockets. I’m 3/4 of the way through embroidering the dachsunds; learning as I go. I’m going to post photos of the project soon.
Oops! I almost forgot to tell you my name 🙂
Amanda/kreativeblonde
