Pass the Plates, Please


I'm working on another dresden plate tablerunner, this time based on a pattern from Moda's Bake Shop.





Going was slow for a while. Picked myself up by the bootstraps this week and forced an early wake-up a couple of days to make progress. Very happy I did. It finally feels like it is coming together.


I plan to applique the plates tonight while watching the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance - my summer guilty pleasure! :-)
