Hi all! Been sucked into the sewing room this past weekend, working on a project that has been pending for well over two years. Before my dad passed, I had asked mom for his tie collection with the intention of making a quilt with his ties. Most of them were from the 40's and 50's, you know, the wide ones made from silk and had beautiful designs. Well, mom had sent them to me prior to his passing in 2013, and I couldn't bring myself to make anything. Mom wanted me to make something for us 4 kids as a remembrance, and it took me until this past week to come up with a fitting tribute. They aren't done yet, but this is where I'm at now -- a Dresden plate block (18"), that will go onto a 20" pillow.
