My Dresden Attempt #2

Micaela's second request was something to put on her new desk in her room, so we decided to make a doily.  (Doily was a new word for Micaela...LOL). 

Here is the Dresden Doily sitting pretty on her desk. 

I quilted the dresden by pinning the plate to a solid black fabric with batting on the bottom and  sewing very very s-l-o-w-l-y around each petal.

Then I trimmed carefully and turned the inside out through the hole in the center. 

 

Here is a close up.

 

The next thing I did was stitch in the ditch between each petal (diliberately skipping the scallop part-- after all I am not crazy!), then added the circle in the center and top stitched around it. 

So there you have it... My two attempts to dresden.  I know they are little attempts but this made me finally use my dresden die that had been screaming "use me" for more than six months!  Please stop by all of the other blogs today and show them some love.  Be sure to comment if you would like to win a custom zipper pouch.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
