Progress on Primer Quilt & Sewing for Ava

This will be brief since there is much to do today as we prepare to move.

I added the blue flower border to the Sally, Dick, & Jane quilt top.
I'm going to use the yellow birdhouse print for the binding.


I pinned the backing, batting, and top together on my dining table. 


Since the quilt top hangs down on each side of the table I rolled it to pin each side.
Then I rolled and folded it to transport it to the new house.
It may be a few weeks before the new sewing space is ready for business.

The backing was in my stash and there was enough for the whole back.
It is an alphabet print of different printing types.


I took a break from packing to make this dress for Ava.
I altered a McCalls pattern to make a play dress.
The original is a wrap-around dress with bias binding accenting all edges.


Ava likes a dress with a zipper so I changed the back.
The top was not lined but I think lining makes the dress more comfortable.


Ava and I are going to have lots of fun designing dresses when Mr. M and I live close to her.

Thank you to the readers who left comments last week.
I tried to reply and had no luck.

Happy sewing!
