Stunning haute couture
It’s been two weeks since my talented niece’s haute couture fashion show, and I am still thinking about it and trying to come off a cloud of pure enjoyment from all the work involved. It has truly been a privilege to be a part of this project.
More applique and quilting
The last two weeks have been pretty intense helping my talented niece with the last of the appliqued and quilted pieces for her fashion show.

Scrappy Potholders

Polka Dot Quilt
