Sunny Sewing

Is there anything better than sewing in the sun on a winter day?
 With all of the spokes finished, I've been having fun assembling Dresden plates from all of the low volume choices. The quilt will feature 12 plates on a soft grey dotty background. They go together quickly....five down and seven to go!
 The cute aqua Ikea cart that my hubby gave me for Christmas has come in handy for moving everything to my sunny dining room window for stitching.
 Meanwhile, Moose is waiting for a break in the sewing so that he can go outside for a walk. At five months old, he has grown so much that he looks like a big-boy dog already! (But don't be fooled...the puppy antics are never-ending!) In other news, I started a new project out of this fun applique book...
 Here's a teaser of what I'm working on... 
More about that next week. Moose is getting impatient and the sun is still out!

    Any hot chocolate near that sunny window?
    The Dresden plates are beautiful, and I am already in love with the map. (Please do not forget NZ and Tasmania!)

    Wow! You're really whipping up those Dresdens! They're impressive, and I am sure they're going to look great on a soft dotty gray background. Happy for you to have that Ikea cart. I have the same. Now, have you seen the look-alike one that Sam's Club is selling for $34.99?! It's good to hear that Moose is keeping you on your toes, and on your feet... walking. Having a dog is like having a kid around, isn't it? Bet your grandies love him.

    Oh I like all your Dresden plates and think they will look so good on the dotted fabric.

    Moose is adorable - look at that face! I too love the sunny morning sewing and have the identical Ikea bin - it's absolutely indispensible! Do you mind if I ask which model your Bernina is?

    Very pretty Carla. I enjoyed making the block for Rene. Perhaps dresdens are in my future too. It's going to be lovely
