Dress for Emma
In all of my sister's destash projects and quilting fabric finds, occasionally she finds something really fun.
Hello, World!
She found this panel which I made into a little girl's dress. While we thought she might get to it while she was in Poland visiting this August, we didn't get to it then. - actually we forgot all about it. So, I made it in a couple of sewing sessions right before we came back - I'd never made a dress that was just printed panel - just 2 pieces. It didn't come with the facing piece, so I just chose a coordinating polka dot piece from among my stash of fabric!
Here's Emma. She gladly posed for us.
And while we don't have panel dresses for sale in the store, be sure to check out the goodies that we do have!
Whether you need pieces by the piece or by the yard, we've probably got something you can use!
Emma and her baby sister, Joan! Their mother works at The Quilted Twins among other things!
I'm here...working hard to help my sis have even more for you to buy in the coming days. Sorry I can't really show it to you yet, but I worked all day!
Did you realize we have 'destash' books?
Yes we do! Be sure to check them out!

Synopsis from Publisher:
In a completely updated version of her 1977 classic, Diana Leone (owner of The Quilting Bee store in Northern California), takes readers--clearly and thoroughly--through every step of quilt-making. Leone's comprehensive approach begins with a roundup of supplies, a fabric selection guide, and all the other details of getting started, then moves on to piecing and appliqué. Next come finishing, assembling, and quilting instructions. Sampler lessons provide details and diagrams for 36 different quilt blocks, arranged alphabetically and keyed with a system of one to four thimbles to indicate ease or difficulty. A beginner or intermediate quilter couldn't ask for a better guide to the basics.
