Little Dresden


This is a diversion from the usual colors and prints I work with.  However, it'll be perfect for some very dear family friends, along with a box of chocolates.

That's a really great background fabric for your dresden plate. I don't think I've seen it before.

Lovely fabrics and such a sweet little dresden. I like fabrics with text, and cross stitch samplers.
