Once again, still on this Dresden kick. I continue to have this illness. (Still can't quit scheming) I made this one and its almost finished twin for my father for Father's Day coming up. And what do Dads like to do (well at least mine) take a nap. I am making him twin Dresden pillows for the couch so he can get comfy for his afternoon shut eye.
I used American Banner Rose material from Moda.
I decided to do a little something different than that of the 1/4" quilting. I free motioned some stripes and stars with the machine.
And then finished it up with a few hand-quilted wonky stars. I hope he likes them.
I also had to share some of my flowers with you. This is a white Clematis vine that just started blooming in the yard. I love it's showy white and purple blooms.
The lovely places I link to.....
Divino!
