Sample Dresden...

We've had very high winds today and now thunderstorms are moving through. We were without power for most of the day today. I had planned on loading a baby quilt or table runner on the frame and quickly quilt it to make sure that my tension was okay before I loaded a customer quilt on but that didn't happen. Like I said we had several hours without power and by the time it came back on, it was time to fix supper. While I had supper on, I played around with these... And ended up with this...The big white circle in the middle is just paper, I was trying to find out what size I would need for the center fabric. I was just practicing to see how it would come out. I printed a paper template off and cut them out with that, it worked okay but if I made a quilt later with these, I would like a different size. I ordered a Dresden Plate Acrylic template a few days ago online and I'm waiting for it to come. I figured it would be cheaper to order it and pay the $2 shipping then it would be to drive 40 minutes and buy one, gas is just too high. I'm not sure what I will do with this sample one unless I make a wall hanging or pillow or something like that with it. I even thought about making a table runner too. I still need to clip all of the little threads and cut out the center circle, I haven't decided on a fabric for that yet. I guess I had better cut this post short, it is storming really bad and my lights are going dim, don't want to lose this post. Kristie
