This is the first post for my new blog. My old blog, needlesandpens.wordpress.com is no more. Needles and Pens is the name of an art gallery in San Francisco. Who knew! I'm on the east coast and never heard of the place, but some folks are confusing the names and assuming that I'm connected with the gallery.
So the new blog is named after my grandmother, Dovie. She was a kind women, who sewed, cooked, canned, played the piano, knitted, did embroidery and made biscuits that nearly floated off the plate. (Also, Dovie as a name is unusal enough that it's not already taken on the internet!)
The next post will contain a synopis of the post from the needlesandpen blog.
Thanks for bearing with me.

About Me
- Dovie's Aprons
- I'm a fine arts artist but I'm also a lifelong sewer and apron lover. A creative type, I'll try most any craft. I crochet, knit, and do beading as well. In the real world, I'm an engineer, which gives me insight into construction and design of my aprons.
Who is Dovie?
Dovie was my grandmother. I have several of her apron patterns from the 40's and 50's. My mother contributed a few of hers from the 50's as well. So it seems only fitting that when I started making aprons, I would use Grandma as my inspiration.
