Some Of Us Multi-task!

Happy summer!  Astrid here.  Marsha, Willa, and I have just been chillin' together this summer.  Between going out to our wading pool and being inside with the AC, we have managed to keep ourselves busy.  I am making myself a new pinafore dress and have been making blocks for a new quilt.

I am working on a liberated wedding ring quilt.  I was inspired by Gwen Marston's wedding ring quilts.  I started with some proper granny fabrics, then added a few contemporary fabrics that were a little lighter in tone.  I think it is balancing out rather well.
I am almost finished with my dress.  I just need to sew the straps on and add a hook-n-eye at the waist, in the back.  I already finished the button-hole and a button, last night, to fasten it on the back.  I had to practice my button-holes and my machine was not being helpful.
Willa took the photos of me while I was working on my dress.  She is becoming quite the little photographer.
