Good day sunshine!This is my first appliqued circle, mentioned in yesterday's post. Not too shabby huh? I cut the circle and then tacked a 3mm hem before whip stitching it down and removing the tacking thread. And it is just the centre of my first ever dresden patchwork piece.
Yes - I dared to Dresden! Having been so subdued with my colour choices on the front I let loose on the back. I've had these buttons in stash for years. So cute!
They remind me of that line from The Mikado "three little maids are we..."
One last look at how my sofa now looks...
I was feeling pretty chuffed with my dresden but not particularly inspired to do any more when I saw this one from
Quilting Lodge Blog from yesterday's day of the Hop.
Isn't it lovely? It's paper pieced and I adore the effect. I have pinned it to my
Patchwork Board on Pinterest.
Last time I participated in a hop I was planning a Rainbow Charm Square Swap for the New Year but...only 12 people signed up. Not enough to make it worthwhile. So...how about a New Year RCSS in February?!
Guidance and sign up form here. If I get enough sign ups within the next week I'll go ahead with it.
Now please please please go and visit the others taking part in today's part of the Hop.

Dresdens and polka dots belong together. Your pillow is darling!!
I clicked over to your pinterest, had a look at your Sashiko board and was shocked to find my clasp purse on there!! I also realised you were in the UK at that point, so I'm in for the rainbow charm swap, I'd ignored it before, thinking you were US based
I thought it was funny that you described your Dresden as subdued. It really isn't compared to some I've seen! It's very pretty.
I really like your dotty dresden...You did a great job.

I love polka dots and, of course, I love your pillow. I have two cats so I naturally love your buttons two. Is that corduroy on the back? Doesn't matter, it's cute! Very nice pillow. Until I really looked, I didn't notice that the Dresden is off center, a very nice touch. You did a very, nice job. Thank you for taking time to participte and inspire us. I just participated in a charm exchange at my quilt guild that was basically a rainbow exchange - sorry!
