Kass, love your porthole block! Those circles look absolutely perfect. Not easy to do.

Cheesehead, wonderful Sugar Skull block.

Terriamn, you are on a roll! Lovely work despite the weather. GramE's is most definitely soft and feminine. So very pretty.

I love how you've used the black for this Christmas block, Cheesehead. It's really working out well for this fabric.

Kassaundra, how sweet of you to spend time with your niece, teaching her to sew and making a special gift for her cousin. That's the real gift, your time and skills. You're a fine aunt. And look how happy your niece is.

My niece really wanted to sew a "princess dress" for her young cousin who she is visiting tomorrow. Abigail picked out the fabric and pattern and loves this dress. She helped sew it she has never sewn before. I had never sewn children's clothes and haven't sewn adult clothes in near 20 years. This dress is rough up close but will make a very expensive dress up dress. Abigail loves it and is so thrilled to be able to gift it to her little cousin tomorrow, well worth the day spent making it.
Love your Ring around the rosy cheeked Santas.
