Purple is her favorite color!

My sweet Bright--grand daughter--loves purple--Pretty traditional, and I love gingham--I do not remember where I got the purple cotton gingham(it isn't a blend. I think it was from The Dusty Attic in Fruitland, Maryland, and I think it was the last piece they had--a FQ.) I DO know I found the vintage looking sweet print at The Dusty Attic(a quilt shop close to me).

Poppies for Linnea!

Many years since I have made a dress for a grown-up!--but last summer while in North Dakota visiting my daughter, I made this shirtdress from some vintage buttery soft cotton lawn I had been given by a dear older friend. I found some old bias trim at a thrift store that went so well I had to use it as piping! I was a little rusty, but it is sort of like riding a bike :)

sweet little girl dress for granddaughter Bright (and a doll dress to match!)
teeny little bluebrids floating on a creamy background.

I must say, that it took me a few of days to figure out what to do on the front--I couldn't find buttons I liked and I wasn't sure about applique. bought 3 different fabrics and 2 kinds of buttons. I am pleased with what finally evolved--a simple little bird applique I drew myself.
