Monday was a bit surreal for me: my husband and I took our older son (the one whose picture is on my June CQJP block) for his first "college visit". Yikes...we're getting old!!!
This is the beginning of my July block for CQJP 2012. This is my daughter's block. Like my son's, I've blurred out her birthday in Photoshop. The fabric on the right side of the block is a special piece of fabric. It came from a dress-up dress that she used to wear all the time. When she was about three years old, I bought the cream-with-gold-thread ladies' cocktail dress for a few dollars at a thrift shop. It was a perfect dress-up dress for her, and when she outgrew it, I confiscated it for my crazy quilting.
Here's the dress. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a photo until AFTER I had cut a piece for the CQ block!
Here's a close-up of the lace at the collar and the button in the front of the dress. (You'll notice some blue and pink marker, thanks to my daughter's art adventures while wearing this dress as a pre-schooler.) I'm thinking of using this button on her block, too.
That's all for now. Happy Stitching!
