Riley Blake Design's woven gingham fabric was such a joy to sew with!
Woven gingham is different than their other beautiful gingham fabric (which I love), because
each thread is dyed and woven to create the fabric's design. Instead of being light on one side
and darker on the other, both sides of the woven gingham are exactly the same. It's also lighter
weight fabric which makes it perfect for clothing or quilting. It's soft and beautiful!

My inspiration for this quilt was from the memories I have from long, long ago of the dresses
I sewed with pinafores for my three girls when they were little. They always looked so sweet!

Wasn't it yesterday that my youngest daughter was this small?
It's hard to believe she's the mother of six Monkey Boys!

How cute! I remember wearing pinafores - plain, not so frilly - and gingham dresses with the bodice smocked.
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Carol
ReplyDeleteCute quilt, Carol! I love that gingham. I used to sew for my daughters too. What memories!
ReplyDeleteCute quilt Carol. Ginghams take me back in time. They were like a fabric staple for everything fabric. LOL. I can’t really say that I miss them. But you’ve put together an adorable quilt design to showcase the fabrics. The little applique dresses are so sweet looking. Your daughter looks adorable and so girly girly in her frilly dress. You’re a fabulous seamstress!
ReplyDeleteCute quilt. I love carousels and I agree this one is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGingham is so classic and timeless. Darling quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have not sewn with the woven ginghams, but they look beautiful. There is nothing like little girls with pinafores.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so cute and does bring back such great memories of gingham and pinafore dresses.
Your daughter looks so cute, and a great inspiration for this quilt almost any little girl (or old gal!) would like. Ah, gingham! Good memories there. Thanks for a great post. That carousel horse reminds me of one I started about 30 years ago, and it's still hanging around somewhere, I'm sure.
