A Dainty Dresden....

Been working on a project...that includes some of my favorite things...including a Dresden...

The blades are very petite...and the entire plate only measures about 6 inches in diameter...

 

The center is hand appliqued as well as the entire plate...onto this fun spotted scalloped background piece.... Love Dresdens!!!
Yesterday was a very busy day...daughter #3....Mary McNeil and I went to Broad Street Presbyterian church to take pictures of their Tiffany stained glass windows...I did a little reading on the subject and the church so I knew these would be impressive panels....Oh my goodness!!!  They are incredible! I was amazed at the color and brilliance of the glass.  Just amazing!!!



Back to work!!!

    Aren't the greens and purples lovely in that first window? And what a pretty little dresden! I must try another of these (one of these days!)

    Your dresden plate is so charming, very very sweet. The church stained glass is Beautiful beyond belief, I think some of the most beautiful architecture in this country is in our churches. Thanks for sharing,
    Wendy
