Final dress and a bag

Here is the final dress after having to tear it apart and put it together again for alterations. The girl picked it up today and it fit beautifully! So I am officially done with the bridesmaid's dresses. What a relief! Of course after all that seam ripping my hand and arm ache. A slight case of tight thumb and carpal tunnel. But now I can do other stuff!!

I hope to get a picture of all four girls in their dresses from the bride after the wedding which is next weekend.

There was a party for our secret sister revealing a couple weeks ago. This is the last gift I recieved my my secret sister! It is so colorful and I love it. The inside has pockets all the way around the bottom of the bag. I never even guessed who it was! The lady I gave gifts to gave me a kit to make a table runner.  It was a fun party!

Last two squares and one of the dresses

Here are the last two squares of the folk art quilt. I can't wait to sew it together. I am going to change the sashings a bit and the border as the pattern is a bit plain.

I have finshed two of the bridesmaids dresses and finally the other two came for fitting today. Here's a picture of the dress. Not very good pic but don't have a mannequin to show off a strappless dress. The leopard belt has tucks and the bodice ad skirt also has a few tucks. Very hard to see with the black. I hate working with black! LOL
