Love this! I'd would love to see a tutorial on how you do your art quilts. I am so interested in this medium for all the art in my head! Funny you live in Fredericksburg. I used to live there too! 2 years ago we moved to the Shenandoah Valley. I'm also covered in ink and feel like wow I found someone like me that sews lol! I love your Valkyrie quilt! I wish I could afford it right now! It's beautiful and right up my alley! I hope to see more videos from you soon!

I love your tutorial, but I must be getting old. I love the top of the apron, but you don't say how to do it in inches.

The top is how many inches

A cucuzza recipe from my Italian MIL.... Giambotta - Italian Vegetable Stew (pronounced Jumbot) This recipe makes large pot. Ingredients 1/4 cup olive oil 5 cloves garlic, chopped 1 cup onions, chopped 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed 1 CUCUZZA gourd, peeled, sliced into 1/4"discs or cubed into 1.5 inch pieces 2 cups bell pepper, chopped Salt and pepper, 1 bay leaf 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes (OR fresh tomatoes and 1/2 cup pasta sauce) 2 cup stock, chicken or vegetable (boullion okay) 12 eggs Directions In a large soup pot, add olive oil, chopped garlic and onions and let them sweat out on low while you prepare the rest of the veggies. Work next to the stove and drop as you chop, in order of longest cooking time: potatoes, cucuzza, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper, bay leaf, cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and add tomatoes and stock and simmer until veggies are almost done. Lastly, drop in 12 eggs on top of stew on low boil for the last 12 mins. Do not mix. You want eggs to hard-boil in place. Done. Options-- You can .... Substitute zucchini in place of cucuzza, Add sausage or meat of your choice, Add jalapenos to give a little kick if you like, or hot sauce to taste. If you have any other vegetables producing heavily in your garden like eggplant or green beans, you could add some of those too. The ingredient amounts are flexible. You can add more or less of any of them. I even add a little kale if available from my garden.

Binding is my nemesis. Great tutorial.

Oh, I have the Memory Craft 6500! Great pattern, thanks for sharing 😉

Thank you so much. Looks adorable.

I love this tutorial! I’ve made aprons for all my littles and they love them. Just finished one using Star Wars fabric for grandson’s 2nd birthday. Thanks so much for giving such good instructions. ❤

Came across your video while searching how to make adult bibs. I'm involved with a couple organizations and we do fundraisers. These bibs are perfect!! Thank you so much for your easy instructions. I'm going to look for some of your other patterns to do.

Oops -I figured out why bell pieces in pockets are left open !!!🇨🇦👍😃 My brain was just had to play catch up!

Why is the bottom bell shape of the poxkets not sewn together when you first sew the pocket pieces together?

Best video ever on reversable bibs

Great instructions- I might use toweling on one side for absorption

Hi Mary, I love your aprons! Thank you so much for sharing! I will definitely be making some! Thank you again. Cheryl from Sierra Vista Az

Very cute design. Thank you so much for sharing!

You are so thoughtful and practical. My two favorite attributes 😊 love your bib sizes . I could use both. Thank you for sharing

How do you hand pollinate your cucuzza

Has anyone tried to make cucuzza fries? 😂

Love this! I’m so happy I found your channel! I will be making these for presents!

Thank you! For this wonderful tutorial! Love this apron!

These are the coolest squash I’ve ever grown. This was my first year, and I will definitely grow them again. I do have a question for you. My soil is constantly flooded and most likely very deficient in nutrients. I’m not quite sure I’ve tested several times and honestly, I don’t really see a change on the test strips so..… anyway I have about 2- 20 foot vines going in different directions, lots of side shoots.I feel like it might need less to support because some of the side shoots look like they’re struggling already. Possibly deficient, like the roots of 2 cannot handle all of this. They have brown tips and are starting to turn yellow. I’ve only been able to grow 2 large squash and 3 small that I hand pollinated, but they didn’t grow longer than 8 inches, then started to get soft so I just pulled them off. Would you recommend that I trim some side shoots or stop the growing tip and cut that?

I used to work in a garment factory, so I learned to sew WITHOUT pins. Yes it can be done.

hi mary it worked great i have about 10 over 10 ibches,,ib no time...thanks again

Thank you. I ordered and planted ornamental gourds. This is what grew. I grew Trombone squash so at first I thought I goofed up. But no bell happened, and they are now 4ft long. Weird stuff lol.

Thank you for your fantastic video, You were so detail and made look so simple and thanks for the pattern sizes also. Again a Big Thank You.

Oh I love this APRON

great info thanks😁

Love love the freezer paper trick! Easy pattern that makes an adorable apron, thank you so much.

I just found my dad through ancestry at 35! They came to american from Sicily when he was 8! Try8ng to full fill some big shoes growing Cucuzza! Thank you for sharing this help me because I can't understand his acent!😂😂😂😂

This is very helpful. Thank you!

Cucuzza steamed with tomato and plenty of garlic will make a lovely stew then you need a loaf of italian bread to push the juice around. Got started with these by an old italian gardener. His trellis is permanent, goes up 6 feet and over/down the other side. He pulls the fruits down through the horizontal section and gravity makes then 4ft long and straight. I have a lesser trellis but I'm hoping for similar results. If I get lots, I'm going to try some of them serpent style. That's the natural shape.

Make tomato sauce with them

I take my chopsticks with me from the buffet to make make my corner out.

Too cute with your baby talking!

Thank you! I want to make my own bias tape and all the videos I’ve seen say that starting with a fat quarter helps!

Thank you for sharing your unique veggie finds with us. I too grow unique Asian style veggies because we live in subtropics in Houston🎉

Any chance you offer the patterns in pdf form? I live in Canada so it would be hard to order your pattern.
