Rosemary, How delightful! Did you make the hat too? I am deeply involved in getting my home reorganized because I just retired and am improving my work space so I can work nearly full time on my fabric arts. But I will say this past week and the week before me are all taken up with moving things around and reorganizing. I bought a Bernina 830 and a nice cabinet for it rather than go to Houston.

Especially for Loise98, and anyone else who is at home & wishing they were at Houston.

To get the ball rolling, it is not quilting, but it is out of fabric. My daughter had a dress as a book character day at school today and she chose to be Maria Merryweather from the book{!-- ia0 -->CIMG5582.JPG{!-- ia0 -->

The cloak (cassack) is from my Civil War re-enactment, but I made the skirt with frilly petticaots adapted from a flamenco costume, bonnet and re-covered the rabbit fur muff last night. It is great to be in the possession of a large and varied stash, and a wide ranging understanding of how garments go together and how different shapes combine together to make the right feeling look.

I seem to be back on hats again
