be helpful. Free or not. I'm stumped on this one. Thanks for your help. I know one of you will come up with something. Hugs Lynn

I posted the finished apron in projects. Hope you like it. Hugs Lynn

Depending on their sense of humor--"If you are what you eat, I'm fast, easy, and cheap!"
I always liked--"If God lives inside each of us, he'd better like chocolate!"

I love the answers you have received. Isn't it amazing that as we get older we spill more things down our fronts - at least I do.

Dinner's on me.
You've got a lot of nice sayings to choose from, curious what you'll decide to embroider.

What bib? This is a garment protection unit. I only need this because my spoon dribbles.

i like this on can i use it? ....soozie

How about you wear what you eat or you are what you eat or look what I just ate! . Everybodys sayings here are good ones. They are all funny. Good luck choosing.... Suzanne

A well-endowed co-worker of mine had the same problem. She always replied. "They're hungry too; how do you think they got this big." Of course I now say that when someone points out one of my spills.

Since she no longer has to worry about coworkers, customers, pointing out a spot, etc. how about
"Tell someone who cares!"

How about a big red target, see if she can hit the bullseye

I made my whole family bibs for messy food like spag. out of old table clothes with the fuzz on the back and i went around the outside with my serger and added shoe strings for ties!!I wrote with black markers on them their name !!carolyn

Here's one. It's an adult bib. You have directions to make the pattern. I have used this so I know it will work. Think of it as an oversized baby bib.

I think random bits of food would be cute..a random french fry, some pasta, a splotch of ketchup and/or mustard...maybe some vegetables - like carrots, celery, etc.
I like the idea of susieq2u's also - Something like who cares.... My dad got a retirement "sign" that says "I'm retired and your not... Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah"

How about.......

Who cares?

I'm Retired
and Your Not.

Hi, what about some spots and splashes, kind of "artificial food remainings" from recent meals... someone put a "blood splash" for Halloween use up to the "designs by cuties"-area, to me it´s a splash of ketchup for a barbecue-apron still to be done...

I use to make the quilt for the "Retiring Teacher" at my school and I would send around a piece of paper to each teacher saying "Retirement is a Time For ...." then ask each person to fill it in with a very short comment and their name. I would then embroidery this on the quilt. Each one was done with a different font and color of thread. I only had 4 fonts on my little machine at the time.
You could do the same thing with comments from her best friends. My favorite was "Become a WalMart Door Greeter". Everyone loved the quilts and wanted one of their own. You could do the same thing with the bib. Just make it large and two sided so that more comments can be used. cj

How 'bout the phrase "I look good in what I eat" - I've also seen a shirt that read, "Mom taught me to share, so I feed my boobs first". Good luck with coming up with something. *4U

love to see what you come up with i may need the patten ? my neighour has one and its got a pink pig on it says little miss piggy good luck

there are several retirement funny designs in designs by cuties. good luck.
