I'm finally servin' up my Ringo Pie dresden! It's only been in the making since April and I'm so glad to have it finished.
I started it to go along with Lynne's dresden QAL and quickly fell behind. Well, that's not hard to do, it's impossible to keep up with her! I think she's started and finished two more QAL's since then.
Anyway, this last week I picked myself up and finished it. It's a huge dresden, at 24" across, and I'll be adding it to my "all things kitcheny" quilt from the Ringo Pie bee.
These are some of my very most favorite fabrics, some given to me by friends and some purchased.
So what fabulous projects have you picked back up lately and are happy you did?
Happy Thursday to you!

It looks fabulous, Penny! Some projects are definitely worth the wait. :) (Actually, I usually think most projects are worth the wait, lol). As for me, it's been to hot to sew and quilt (or do much of anything) but I have gotten back into crochet!

Oh yes it does look fabulous! Love the little apple, and the leaf before the "R" with the orange 60's kettle on. What is that fabric?
p.s. I haven't finished my dresden QAL either. I couldn't decide how to quilt it, so I just left it. Bad me!

Penny, it looks wonderful. So colorful and fun. I need to pick up my starflower quilt but other things keep getting ahead in the line!

It is such a special dresden, it reallymakes me smile- especially the pieced apple with a background of seeds! You already know but I'll tell you again, I totally love this. I am picking up this months ringo pie block for Lynne- it is mid construction

Wow! Who cares how long one of your project languishes? You have such amazing attention to detail. It's worth the wait!

Incredible! Hopefully one day I will have a tiny smidge of the talent you have. Can't wait to see the finished project!

It turned out beautifully! It is so pretty, and I love all of those fabrics. I finally picked my abc quilt back up a couple of weeks ago, and I am chugging along making blocks for it; I am so excited about it when I see how it is taking shape.

Done a great job with that ringo pie, the colors were beautiful! The card for the coming halloween that I've made the other day was my favorite, because my kids just love them and they actually want the day to run fast. They got excited for the halloween party! (:

Hi,
I'm your newest follower. I'm not sure how I linked over to your blog, but I'm so glad I did. I love it! It is so much fun. I have been going through it and am getting very inspired. I have to stop now because I have projects I'm working on for county fair, but I'll come back and visit again soon. Please come visit me at my new blog, Ric Rac and Polka Dots. I'm brand new, but have lots of fun things planned to share with everyone. I hope to see you there.
Julie
