While cooking, make sure to wear appropriate undergarments.

I could never work in this studio

So here's the dress I saw that got me started thinking about sewing. That and having lots of yardage which I know will never get made into a bed quilt, and is too fuffy to be fused and used in an artquilt. So what? I should use Kaffe fabric for backs? NO. Unless it happens to be my back.

I couldn't tell if this dress had a collar and then the website http://www.echodesign.com/

showed it did. Blah. I don't want that collar. Or that icky color. Blah again.

The pockets don't show here, but I MUST HAVE POCKETS.

The red circles are from the website. Their site is just awful and none of these dresses was easy to find. $68 for the one above, and this one, being a tunic is $58. Ha! How about less than $15 homemade?

Canopy...Can o'corn?

We have shade!! Today Dave decided to get an umbrella for our deck table. Maybe this will be a good idea. It already made it cooler on the deck. It might keep it dry too, who knows. Anyway he was against getting one all year and changed his mind. Musta been a good deal.

And then this freebie came in the mail today from Kaffe Fasset and Amy Butler. It is cotton, only 50wt, too fine for machine quilting but I will have to promote it on the blog. It's probably worth about $50. Nice.
