Say what?? Up until maybe six months ago I had no idea what the heck a dresden was. And up until yesterday morning I had no intention of ever making one. They just looked too. damn. hard. But looky here......
 |
| I decided I "needed" to make a cushion cover for a gift. So I got out the Sarah Fielke fat quarter bundles I bought the other week, and cut in to them. I had seen this design over at Pretty Bobbins, so used the same TUTORIAL. I am hoping Gemma sees my attempts at using some of the same tutorials as she has as a major form of flattery! Only problem? Once I'd made it up, I decided that although I loved it, it wasn't quite the look I was going for! So last night I pulled out a whole lot of "scraps" and came up with this....... |
 |
| And had SOOOO much fun! I played around with the FMQ and was very impressed with myself after doing some love hearts. |
 |
| See!!!!!!! This won't be seen because it will be a cushion cover - but I love how you can actually see the love hearts! |
I need to get it finished by a deadline, so will have to keep plugging away - I've never made a cushion cover - should be interesting!
And the first dresden?? Well - I've decided that needs to be a part of a quilt! I'm sure you will hear more about that W.I.P. over the next little bit!
I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced!

ReplyDeleteYour first dresden looks great! Love your color choices!
ReplyDeleteBoth the dresden's look great, although the first one has a bit of a little-girl's-bedroom feel to it (just because of the sweetness of the colours). Anyway, great job with both of them!
