Quilt-y China
If you google 'Dresden Plate Tutorial' you will find many amazing toots. Even Patterns for great kitchen accessories, like this from Kim Walus featured on Moda Bake Shop.
Love the plate chargers using wool felt.
And if you use google for Dresden Plate images you can see so many fun ways to use the quilt block.
Like little girl skirts by Crafter Hours.
And look how cute this bag is by Fibermania.
All pretty awe - inspiring!!
My Blogger Love is Waning
I am very sorry, I seem to have lost my blogger love. Not sure why or what is up I hope others can understand or simpathize.
Gotta kick it in gear, and get motivated!!!
Anyone else feeling this way?

As a Quiet Little Seedling
As I sit here, I feel as if I am ready for 2010 to end, I find many moments to ponder. Oh, there are many happy times, but a few sad and painful too. I feel much like the seedling in Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem 'The Seedling' waiting for the new year.
AS a quiet little seedling
Lay within its darksome bed,
To itself it fell a-talking,
And this is what it said:
"I am not so very robust,
But I'll do the best I can;"
And the seedling from that moment
Its work of life began.
So it pushed a little leaflet
Up into the light of day,
To examine the surroundings
And show the rest the way.
The leaflet liked the prospect,
So it called its brother, Stem;
Then two other leaflets heard it,
And quickly followed them.
To be sure, the haste and hurry
Made the seedling sweat and pant;
But almost before it knew it
It found itself a plant.
The sunshine poured upon it,
And the clouds they gave a shower;
And the little plant kept growing
Till it found itself a flower.
Little folks, be like the seedling,
Always do the best you can;
Every child must share life's labor
Just as well as every man.
And the sun and showers will help you
Through the lonesome, struggling hours,
Till you raise to light and beauty
Virtue's fair, unfading flowers.

Jammies Sewalong Pattern
I am contemplating using the free pattern at Simplicity, it's part of their Sewing 101. I would be simple and quick to make for the pajama sewalong.
It's a simple pj pant, in Misses', Men's and Teens' sizes.
Basically x-small, small, medium, large and x-large.
How can you beat a pattern that is simple and has only 2 pattern pieces!
Not sure about sewing a top as of yet.
Now if I could only find the fabric before Thursday.
