Why I do this

So I had to take a break from the silks and fancy-schmancy quilt making to get real.

I had picked up these glorious fabrics at Cloth and Bobbin in Narberth, and this sweet Amy Butler pattern. I was going to make "matching" Mom and daughter dresses. The pattern is great because it has both girls and ladies sizes, and you can make 5 different length tops/dresses.

I made Ella's first.



But when Lily saw it, she wanted one, too. That made me happy.



I finally finished mine, but I didn't take a picture yet because I was too busy marveling at this:



Sometimes life just has a way of being so perfect.
