W.I.P.

Remember the selvage strips from a few weeks ago?  Well, I decided to make a pillow top with them.

I like the definition that piping adds to the edges
One work in progress finished (yay!) this week.

Here is a picture of my granddaughter's play porch with her new tie dyed curtains installed (from last week's post).

This week was also about pillowcase dresses.  My daughter, daughter-in-law, and myself made this one out of organic cotton from Modern Whimsy by Laurie Wisbrun.  My granddaughter chose a peach batik from Timeless Treasures for the tie.  It made for a cute and comfortable dress.

Another pillowcase dress is in the works, but more about that next week.
The best part - this dress took under an hour to make

  The Christmas stockings are coming along steadily, but no progress on the I Spy quilt this week.
What have you been working on lately?
P.S. - Check out the  Freshly Pieced and Quiltsy Blogs to see more works in progress, and to link up your projects.

  5. Your granddaughter is indeed lucky to have that play porch! I would love to have a room just for the grandkids to call their own.
