I was ask to make a bishop smock dress for an upcoming baby. I have completed this and sent this to the newly arrived Ellis Elizabeth Andrews(Ellie). Maybe I will be able to share a picture of Ellie in this dress soon.

I have not updated in several months. I have been very busy and not had time to sew. I am back in the saddle and still experimenting and learning about my new Brother 1500 Embroidery/sewing machine. I find that there are many cute patterns for applique and I really enjoy the creativity that this allows. I have completed several fall items that I shared below. These were done for my 3 grandchildren and when the Moms get me a picture of them I will certainly share that because they will show up much cuter.(I'm just a little proud.)
