Spring dress....

Remember when I told you about that great new Riley Blake "citrus-y" group we got in a week or two ago? Well, Harriet and I picked these fabrics and a Kwik Sew pattern last Saturday, and today she brought it in almost done. So....we picked out buttons for the dress, made a strap for the purse, found some cute buttons for the purse and voila! Isn't it darling? Harriet's youngest granddaughter (she has 4 of them!) has been promised this outfit for her birthday in August. Won't it just be perfect! We have the pattern in stock and lots of other fabrics that would be equally cute.

We're on a mission of late to get LOTS of new samples for you to feast your eyes upon! Yesterday Jan finished a bag she started last week using the new sunflower group from Clothworks. (Will try and get a picture in the next couple of days.) We've been wanting to create a nursing cover-up for the last few months, so we perused the free tutorials on line and tried to pick the best features of all of them to create the Fab-Etc version. Hoping to have that finished tomorrow. Then, we picked a couple of fabrics to make our favorite placemats again. And we've selected flannels for receiving blankets and burp cloths. I'm hoping to lay out our Garden Party quilt tomorrow and place all of the petals so it's ready to sew in place. And I'm playing around with a runner from the Anka's Treasures book with my Garden Party "leftovers". There's also a bag pattern in the latest "Quilts and More" magazine that's just been calling out to be made up! That, and we've been doing some "Spring cleaning" of little piles of "stuff" that has accumulated of late.

Whew, that made me tired just writing all of that....think I'll call it a night so I'll be ready for more fabric fun tomorrow!
