Most of my projects this week have involved curves.
Lots of curves.
But it's been fun!
A start on New York Beauty, Block 4
My first Retro Flowers block -- LOVE it!
I'm planning to do 12 more blocks . . .
with a mix of fabrics . . .
flea market fancy, good folks, and we'll see what else jumps in.
The next 4, all ready to go!
This year I'm making Easter Capes for my girls,
at least I hope to get them done in time for Easter!
My furry friend had other ideas today, though!
In Minnesota, in April,
it's often too cool outside for the cute
Easter dresses that my little girls love.
Oliver & S red riding hood capes to the rescue!
I'm planning to make them in bright spring colors,
with a soft cozy lining,
so that my little ones don't freeze while hunting for eggs.
I think they'll be fun for playing dress up for years to come, too!
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
