Dress #174 Greenery

I like the idea of lace overlay on a plain dress. This is an Urban Threads design, embroidered on tulle, and cut to fit. The fabric is more of the vintage hanky from Eileen.

Dress #149 Quilt Sundress

This is made from a couple of embroidered quilt squares I made some time ago. The quilts made by this embroidery process are beautiful, but I found it a bit tedious.

Dress #148 Lobster

Blue denim with an embroidered lobster---this is made from a dinner napkin purchased a few years ago on Cape Cod. I only eat lobsters in Maine or on Cape Cod.

Dress #130 Diamond Jubilee

Today's dress is inspired by the celebrations in London for Queen Elizabeth II. This dress is embroidered on netting which yields a lovely soft and drape-y fabric. The belt is a tennis bracelet that I don't wear anymore. Yes, real diamonds.

Dress #70 Opening Day

Today is the first day of the baseball season here in Baltimore, and the hope that we'll have a winning season is the highest it will be all year. The stitching on a baseball intrigues me, so I made some fabric embroidered with that stitching.

Dress #14 Embroidery

Embroidery machine is working again---just needed a new card reader/writer box. When this design was published on the Urban Threads website, I knew it was meant for one of my 365 dresses. Ooops. This is leap year, so I have to do 366! Love this dress, design, color---all of it. Here's the link to the design: http://www.urbanthreads.com/product_details?product_id=8847
