good morning!  i’m writing from home today since mom took yesterday off and wednesday and thursday will be spent finishing up projects, machine quilting, printing, kitting, and lastly thursday afternoon…packing for Bismark.

i did get 1 project kitted and ready to go yesterday…Grandma’s Dresden Pillow featuring Swell Christmas and a little Good Tidings…

grandma's vintage dresden pillow swell blog

Finishing at around 19 inches square…this pillow is the perfect mixture of EPP, Christmas, and appliqué (which i am growing quite fond of actually!). i hand pieced, hand appliquéd, and hand quilted this lovely lady…all that is machine stitched is the backing.  A perfect project for these brisk autumn days that are growing shorter, cooler, and frostier.

Grandma’s Dresden Pillow kit includes: fabric for plate, bella off white, 20 petel dresden papers, acrylic, and the pattern.  (notions used for appliqué, batting, muslin, and thread are not included).  Kit is just $35.00 and is available now!

Now time to get stitching on my Lucy Boston block…i’ve found my honeycomb!

 

Happy stitching…
