The first dress I made was too big. When I saw it, in comparison to Penny in the flesh, I knew that it couldn't be cut down. A new dress needed to be made from scratch. Scratch away, on Mon/Tues, toss in a zipper on Wed, and ship!
It arrived today, so I am waiting to hear if it fits. I hope so, because she needs to wear it tomorrow. I'm plumb out of time to make it again!
I also made a card last week. Or was it the week before? I don't think I posted it yet, so here goes:
It made it to Arizona, and the sea horse didn't break. I was impressed! :)
Next on the agenda: quilt retreat. I got here 3 hours ago, and have finished one Komforter for Kids. (guild project) A second has been flipped, I just need to quilt it. I'm probably speaking code. I was given a "sandwich." My job was to stitch it together and quilt it. I should be done tonight. Perhaps in the morning I will post some pictures.
I haven't a clue what my goals are, as I was up to my elbows in princess dresses. I stuffed my car with projects, thought I might be ready to go...and realized I hadn't packed a suitcase or a sewing machine. ackk!!
I still haven't found my rotary cutter - I KNOW I packed at least two! - or my pencils or my...yeah. By the time I find my things and get organized, it will be time to leave.
whew!
Anyway, just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you, and that the bestest pinkest dress in CA has made it to its destination. And that's all I have to say about that. :)

Relax and enjoy your time sewing with friends. Borrow what you have forgotten!
Reminds me of a time a friend and I went to Glendale Quilt Guild's weekend long show/classes. Said friend carefully packed and toted all of her sewing supplies there but forgot to include her suitcase. Fortunately, I was arriving a day later so grabbed her suitcase from home and brought it with me. So much stuff we require!
