Wow, two months since my last post. Let me apologize for all the comments and questions left unanswered! It has been a crazy time. It seems to me that was about the time we started house hunting since my parents were listing the house that we were renting from them. In the end we were unsuccessful and decided to go on the vacation that was planned and payed for before we knew this summer would be full of transition. It was a wonderful two weeks off the grid and away from the pressure. We arrived back with two weeks to move out of our house and in with my parents while we continue our house hunting. That is behind us now, and I needed some sewing therapy. Joann’s clearance fabric to the rescue (my stash is all in boxes!)

The girl has been asking for a “play dress”. I thought that could be fun! But of course the quilter in me had to piece together a bunch of different fabrics first so it wouldn’t be boring!

I made a size 10 (even though she is 12) because she is so narrow. But it ended up too short to wear alone. My mom kept laughing to see that I passed on my spindly legs to my daughter. It is pretty funny to see your old legs running around on someone else. And back to the dress… I made two. One is for our neighbor’s daughter. I thought the girls would be tickled to have matching dresses. And now that my “to do” list is all packed away with the boxes in the basement, I feel like I have time on my hands. My next project is to hurry up and finish the quilts in my last post, so I can ship them and not move them to our new house… when we get one.
