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 :)
