Today, only a small amount of hand sewing will be accomplished. Why? There is a quilt show in Frankenmuth, Michigan approximately 1-1/2 hours from my home. I love quilt shows, and I am more than ready to attend one. Paula Nadelstern (famous for her kaleidoscope quilts) will be teaching several workshops. The opportunity arose that I was able to enroll in her Sunday afternoon class.
This evening, I will join the other Slow Sunday Stitches faithfully hosted by Kathy. I will hand quilt the outline of this dress as it is extra basted in order to be able to quilt without a hoop. The blue and white dot fabric reminds me of Mrs. Beasley the doll from Family Affair the cute TV Show from the late 60s-early 70s. Lol.If you have time this week to return for a visit, I will have photos from the quilt show posted. :-)

My sisters had a Ms. Beasley doll! Great memories. Enjoy the quilt show.. it has been a few years since I went to one. I think I need to remedy that this year.
Enjoy the quilt show such a wonderful way to spend a winter day surrounded by colorful quilts. Love the little dress and that Mrs Beasley doll was the cutest.
Enjoy the show and the slow stitching... sounds like the perfect day to me!
