Another Dresden Pillow...

No doubt I love the Dresden....I have made a couple of Dresden Quilts and now my third Dresden Pillow....



 
I used Hokkoh tiny blue polka dot for the background and Alexander Henry's tiny check for the center....
And sometimes you fall in love with the back as much as the front....



Molly and I are working on a special gift for a friend....Molly, of course, is supplying the embroidery.... 



And finally, I finished the second block of the NYB....


And this is about as close as we got to sunshine today!

    You have been busy...The buttons on the back of you pillow are perfect! (it's funny how the back can be as nice as the front!) And your NYB block with its black and white spotted centre! Your fabric choices are fabulous! And could that Union Jack be going to the UK? Have a great day! S

    I see more home runs, my friend! I tried some points and curves this week and think I might be in love!

    What a fabulouse dresden pillow--the back is every bit as charming as the front. And the union jack embroidery--oh my--my mom is British and I'm going to sew some union jack blocks--for my son, who lived in London for 2 years and my mom..Such inspiration!!

    You could have used that lovies title for this post too. I love Molly's embroidery and the pillow is really neat. Love those spots!
