Have you seen the great stuff coming out of this Dare to Dresden blog hop? My day was last Friday (be sure to
visit that post if you missed it, as there is a giveaway!), but I've been so inspired that I completed another Dresden project today. A friend and her son watched my kids a week and a half ago when I had to work on a Sunday and my husband was out of town. I wanted to give her something as a thank you gift, but what? A co-worker suggested that I make her something. I have no idea what she would like, but I had these leftover dresden wedges and a pillow form, so...
TA-DA!!

I like it, so I hope she will, too. Machine pieced, but hand appliqued and hand quilted. My only real criticism of it is that I should have lined the center circle as some of the dots and stripes show through from the ends of the wedges underneath, but whatever. This pillow plus a thank you card with two coupons for free homemade ice cream at the shop in town should suffice, don't you think?
Work is kicking my butt. Seriously. I was on the verge of tears all day long. A karate class and some time hand quilting and I feel almost human again. Now for some restorative sleep before tomorrow, which I already know will be another hectic day. I just hope to have time to do some hopping, as I haven't visited any of this week's blogs; have you?

I know I missed a lot while I was at the conference. I'll have to go back and check. The pillow is a really lovely gift.
I'm sure she'll love the pillow. Sew cute! I spent ALL DAY yesterday getting caught up with blog reading. I was almost a week behind. I finally got some stitching done last night.
Your pillow is very cute. I think this is the best blog hop! I'm having so much fun.
It's a great pillow. I'm sure she'll love it!
I hope things slow down for you soon
The pillow is gorgeous! You're friend should definitely appreciate the gift!
I know what you mean about being busy. I haven't read blogs for a couple of weeks and feel so out of the loop. There's just too much to do in a day, isn't there!
