Dolly Dresses!
I was so happy to be asked to be part of another of Holly's extravaganzas...who wouldn't want to play with the cutest new LakeHouse Dry Goods fabric and have it be for charity?
The icing on the cake was the opportunity to make a girly little dress--which is not exactly something I get to do very often!
I kept things simple and got out my trusty gathering foot (if you don't have one, please consider getting one--they're pricey, but you'll want to gather everything in sight) and made a little apron. Rick rack and buttons finished it off.
I'm still waist-deep in fabrics and projects that need to be finished yesterday. Autumn may be showing itself, but it sure looks a lot like Spring up in the studio
There are posies...
rosebuds...
butterflies...
and sweet pink prints.
I thought it might be fun to have a little giveaway...remember the bluebird banner from awhile ago? Well, if anyone would like a complete kit to make one of their very own, just leave a comment and I'll pick someone on Wednesday!

Love your block. REALLY LOVE THAT NOSEGAY and all the rest. That butterfly is going to be wonderful. I can't get over how clever you are.
your friend,
Pam-Meow!
Just found your blog and your work is just lovely. I would love a chance at winning the banner pattern. I'm sort of new to sewing and would love to give it a try. Thank you for the opportunity.

Love your dolly dress...and everything else you're working on. It would be so, so fun to win the banner kit! Thanks!
OOohhh...such pretty colors! That blue with the pink is just so pretty I can't stand it! Love the little rick-rack antennae, too.
Elizabeth, What gorgeous fabrics to be able to play with. That blue is quite inspiring
Elizabeth, your DollDressBlock is ADORABLE! Just LOVE the ric rac & the gathered look...and you've convinced me to buy a gathering foot, soon {it is on my list but I always doubted if I'd use it often enough - well, that fear has vanished ;o)}.
Thanks for sharing the sneak peeks of your ongoing projects, they are plain eye candy.
Please count me in the draw for the cutest banner kit I've seen so far, I'd love to win ;o).
Greetings from over the pond,

Hi Elizabeth.... I would love if you would count me in for a kit. My name is Rebecca Todd and I am currently in San Francisco on holiday with my family. I was fortunate enough to be the person who long-armed your Sweetbrier Rose Quilt (in Ireland) for the first edition of the Irish Quilting Magazine. I'd love to meet you while I'm in town and maybe we could have a cuppa?
