First, my sympathies.

They are beautiful!

And so are the dresses! I like the practical use over blouses.

Nice job.

I am truly sorry to hear about your uncle,but those jumpers are awesome.The models were also just as awesome if not more.Us quilters can do just about anything in a hurry if have the right stuff.

Thanks! I actually started out as a garment sewer, just 6 1/2 years ago. I had one lesson and then the rest I learned from reading a Singer Sewing Dictionary and by trial and error. Then, 3 1/2 years ago I had to have two back to back surgeries, so I figured it was time to learn to quilt since I had 12 weeks of bedrest facing me. I had, again, had one quilting lesson where I made a 12" Double Nine Patch Block. The rest I learned by reading all the beginner quilting books I could get my hands on in that bed rest time.
