Hello, it's me!
I haven't been blogging for a while...just needed a break. Don't we all need a break sometimes?
After being a quilting slug, I started sorting my fabrics and realized I'd never be able to sew
it all in my lifetime, but I could hopefully put a dent in it. Not much of a dent, but at least
something is better than nothing, right? I started with gathering the UFO's into one spot.
Thank goodness there weren't that many!
This quilt hasn't been a UFO for very long, but it needed to be finished.
It was a pattern I created to sew with two of my friends using Benartex's
"Not Your Mama's Garden" by Sew Yeah Quilting.
The center Dresden measures 48" with the whole quilt being 76" x 76".
It is big!
Making a Dresden block used to scare me...they do look a bit frightening!
I always called it a "Dreadful Dresden."
In reality, they are so easy.
While having a sewing day, I finished several other quilts that needed binding.
Pictures of those will make there way here eventually.
Have a beautiful day!
Beautiful!! I love these colors together, so very comforting!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! That is the biggest dresden i’ve ever seen! I laughed at your dreadful comment. They are a little picky to do but i think you took on an even bigger challenge than the average one! It’s great to hear from you on your blog post. I’m sending warm thoughts! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love dresdens. They really aren't dreadful to make and this one is absolutely gorgeous. Great fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! The colors are so pretty. Yes ma'am we all need a break every now and then! Mine is going on its second year, but at least I finally have a few things going.
ReplyDeleteCarol I wondered where you have been. Very glad to see you again. Do you know that I started to learn to quilt because I LOVED the look a Dresden quilt has. Now? STILL have not made one. How sad is that considering it's been a long time since I started. ugh. Yours is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way too get the notifications from your posts at my email address? I got a message a long time ago from Google that my account had been canceled but obviously I still get your email I guess. No idea. Anyway, is there a place to subscribe other than Google? Thank you.
Beautiful finish!
