Dresden Plate Further Blocks

Here is another Dresden Plate block plus a block showinghow half a Dresden Plate can also be used as a block. Two great blocks to build a quilt around, wheather it be a lap quilt or bed size.

Dresden Plate Tree Skirt

Another innovative project that can be created with the Dresden Plate template is creating a Tree Skirt. Create the Dresden pieces in the usual way but leave a opening so that the skirt can be place around pot plants or trees. Bind the inner edge with matching bias binding. Again this Dresden Plate pieces were made from mens ties.

New Work.........Just Playing

Just finished 2 new pieces. The centre of both pieces are flocked leaves and flowers. The second piece, with flower motifs, has a collage of fabric pieces underneath a fine layer of organza. Then stippling stitched to finish both pieces. Just a fun idea to play with fabric collage technique.
