Apron-iCity™…your source for everything aprons on the net and in your city.

The Fabric Shop Network, the trade association for quilt and fabric shops, is the proud sponsor of National Tie One On Day™…celebrated each year on the day before Thanksgiving.

You’re Invited…

You can participate in this worthy event by taking part in a Tie One On Day™ class or sew-in offered at your local quilt/fabric shop or online retailer. Join hands and hearts with others to put the “give in thanksgiving” for someone in need of a kind word…and the special gift of an apron.

National Tie One on Day™ is the brainchild of EllynAnne Geisel, author of The Apron Book, and is now in its third year. In keeping with Geisel’s vision, on the day before Thanksgiving, women across the country will be celebrating the day by wrapping a loaf of bread in an apron and tucking a prayer or a note of encouragement in the pocket—and then delivering the bundle to someone in need of physical or spiritual sustenance—or both.

Your gift…

A handmade apron, a loaf of bread, and an encouraging note… will make someone’s Thanksgiving Day brighter. Your local shop will arrange for the aprons you create during their Tie One On™ event to be delivered to a local women’s shelter or other charitable organization that assists women in need.

To participate...
