My featured Merit Badge Awardee of the Week is … Christine Erdman!!!

Christine Erdman (NY pumpkin girl, #6634) has received a certificate of achievement in Stitching & Crafting for earning a Beginner, Intermediate, & Expert Level Aprons Merit Badge!

“For my Beginner badge, I sewed my 1/2 apron using a simple pattern that I bought at Joann’s. I picked a bright pretty color and went to work …

It turned out wonderful and I have been wearing an apron every time I am in the kitchen baking or cooking dinner. My grandma used to always wear an apron.

For my Intermediate badge, I made a really frilly apron out of pretty pink polka dots and daisy material. I used two different prints and made ruffles and a pocket on the apron. It is so girly looking. I was very pleased with the outcome of my apron. It looks good enough to greet friends and family with when you are in the kitchen.

For the Expert badge, I chose a pattern that would make a frilly, pretty apron and picked out my material for it. I picked two different patterns to accent the pocket on the apron and the ruffles. Then the fun began.

I was very pleased with the outcome of my apron project. I made a girly frilly one for my granddaughter and I also made a John Deere apron for my grandson, as he likes to help in the kitchen at times and he also likes to wear it when helping his dad with repairs in the garage.”
