Hints

With days of low humidity and highs only in the 70's, midwest living is as delightful as anywhere right now. Like the lovely blooms on my fragrant flocks, I know that they won't last, but, Oh, how I love these days!
 I've tried to sew every single day this week. Here are some hints of what I have been up to:

 The selvage quilt is together and quilting has begun! I'm hoping for a finish to show you in the very near future.
 I tried something new on the backing. Stay tuned for that!
 Sewing for little girls has kicked into high gear--pink for Lois. I'll show you the finish once we try them on for size.
Another version of the First Day Dress is complete and waiting for Lula to return from vacation so we can access my "tweaking" for fit at the neckline. I love the antique button, don't you!
My head is swimming with more ideas than I have time to sew. Do you have that problem too?

    Love the pink Posy dress-that fabric is one of my all-time favourites but I only ever had the aqua/green colourway! But I am a bit of a pink girl! And that backing- it's very striking! Looking forward to seeing the Selvedges in all it's glory! Starting to think about what I will sew on my return, that's for sure....

    I always have that problem although lately summer is calling more than sewing. Your selvage quilt is so wonderful.

    Yes, I do love that antique button, and I always have more ideas than sewing time!

    I adore the strawberry skirt. So cute! Wish my girl was still little to enjoy such cuteness on her again.
