At last I've reached the half way mark with Dress No 6 of the Fifties-style dresses for the
Dress Me Up quilt.
Reaching a half way mark gives you the urge to start something new - it would be a terrible thing if my stack of UFOs got any smaller. So with some charm squares from Moda's Buttercup I started on some wee baskets following
Brandie's instructions.
Why do my photos never look as good as the real thing. These should look really soft and pretty. The background is the cream from the same range with occasionally a lightly patterned background. I can't say that I'm a great fan of stitching the handles though. I haven't calculated yet how many more I have to do. At the moment they are 3 1/2" square.
I've just realized that there are less than eight weeks until Christmas. So it would seem that I'm now working on next year's UFOs.
What a tragedy it would be if our UFO piles got smaller! LOL
ReplyDeleteExcellent work with the dresses
I think the baskets look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteUFOs seem to be never ending, specially when you call this year projects next years UFOs.
Lovely stitching! I love those little baskets, they are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe dress it up quilt is going to look lovely - how are the blocks coming along?
