Sew Done

 The Dresden is done. I spent two days running around trying to find some way of artfully showing it off but this is all I've got.

There is no place in the house to lay out something this big. The deck is wet and the world has been a muddy mess. This is the best my purple Crocs and I can do. Ta da.

 The back is simple. It's all from an old Connecting Threads 30's reproduction collection whose name I can't recall. I've been working on this for over 10 years. It was a Daddio collaboration and always got shoved to the back of the line. Once he made the Dresdens he was done and off to something else.

In other quilting news, I have one of the teeny tiny nine patches done. And yes, I know you have to be crazy to even think of doing this but it's a bit of brain candy in a world of bad news.

Then there is this. I saw this material on Wandering Cat's blog and thought it would make a nice apron so I ordered it and forgot about it. When it arrived I suited up and treated the package like it was filled with anthrax. Still afraid to touch it, I put the material in time out on my shelf. I never thought just to dump the it in the wash. It's fabric for crying out loud. Tomorrow it's going in.
