I'm happy to share two projects I designed that are featured in Stitch Magazine, Summer 2013. You will find it on news stands now! The first is my set of Petal Nesting bowls. Each individual petal and the bottom of the bowl is machine stitched. The individual petals and the base of the bowl are hand stitched together. It is a great project to take on the go! The bowls sit on my work table and are the perfect place to put small sewing notions. They would also be lovely on a dressing table for displaying your jewelry. I used Denyse Schmidt's newest Shelburne Falls collection. I love this collection! The theme of the issue inspired me to design this maxi dress. I love maxi dresses for summer time because they are so easy to wear - I love to feel dressed up and comfortable at the same time : ) This dress would be equally as lovely without the front ruffle! The flower is removeable and would be a fun embellishment on a hand bag! In celebration of these projects I am hosting a give-away! Brenda at Pink Castle Fabrics has generously donated a FQ set of the Maple colorway of DS Shelburne Falls. Please leave a comment below and I will pick a winner on Saturday. The give-away will be open until Friday 11:59 pm. PST. Good luck!!!
