darling dresdens!

I just started on my Urban Home Goods Swap yesterday! Yikes, the deadline is next Friday so I've been busy, busy, busy!! My partner loves gnomies, mushies and polka dots!! I am in high
H E A V E N! I decided to make two at the same time so I'll have one for me.

I used Oh Fransson's, easy peasy Dresden plate tutorial.

Aren't those red and aqua mushies sooo cute!! They were designed by my SIL, Tasha!! LOVE them!!

The second part to my swap piece is this cute little Matryoshka doll, called a Russian Sweetie. Also designed by my SIL, and is available in her Etsy shop!! You'll have to wait and see what I end up doing with her. Heather gave me the perfect idea! :)


See ya next week!

    So cute! I love dresden plates! They look so pretty in fresh modern fabrics! I didn't know Tasha was your SIL! That's so cool! I was in her hive for the 3x6 Mini Bee last quarter, she is such a sweetheart! I love her fabric designs and patterns, I need to pick some up myself one of these days! :)

    LOVE the dresden and the matryoshka dollie, so cute. I love each and every fabric you've used in the dresden, and yes, those red and aqua mushrooms are divine! You have a very lucky swap partner!
