once upon a time

I've decided that I need a place to keep track of some of the things I make, and how better to start it off than with some throwback stuff. So to start with, a speed quilt, made start-to-finish in less than a week.

I pieced it by machine and quilted it by hand, then sent it off to a new home.

Here's a bag that I made at around the same time. I was just playing around, but I like how it turned out.

And last but not least, way, way back. I made these dresses for some friends for prom when I had a little business designing and making clothes. I designed the blue one after a vintage gown I'd seen. The red one is from a commercial pattern. The black and ivory was entirely my own creation.
