Sew what

I ordered some batiks on-line last week. The box arrived yesterday. The tan background is one of the fabrics. I am making a signature quilt for Cheryl, our dispatcher at work. She is retiring after 32 years. I'm hoping to get the top done before bid day on July 20th. That way I can hang the top in my office and get all the drivers to sign it . I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Not all the fabric is for the signature quilt. But just thought I would share what I got.





I also went to Joann's yesterday in search of fabric for Molly's blessing dress. I found a real pretty embroidered organza, and a white satin for the lining. I'd show you the pattern, but I'm combining several to get the look I want. I need to get busy on her dress. The blessing is scheduled for July 3rd. Last week while talking to Kristi about the dress for Molly, Jenny asked me to make her baptism dress. She is planning ahead. She doesn't turn 8 until February. Sounds like a trip to the fabric store with Jenny early next year.



You can see the pattern better against the brown fabric.
