Anyone who knows me and how much I love to sew and quilt knows that I LOVE Northcott Fabrics!! I was so excited to have the opportunity to make another great project using Northcott Fabrics. This project was especially fun because it was something I adapted an idea I had and ended up with something amazing.
I have been making so many quilts lately that I was really in the mood to do something a little different. I saw a patriotic dress in a store that I thought was sorta cute but still really plain. I decided I wanted to make some really cute matching patriotic dresses for my daughter and cute little niece. I have to say I am so pleased and excited with how these cute dresses turned out.
My daughter was so excited about the dress. She also loves it when she gets to match my niece. She was especially excited that I made a matching dresses for them. She is still at the fun age where she thinks that matching is a pretty cool thing. I love that about my little girl!!
It was also a lot of fun to accessorize these dresses and make them a little more fun. I had a lot of fun making these projects. I hadn't sewn for a very long time and this was one of the projects that has helped me get out of my little "funk" as I call it.
Here in Utah were I live we get to leave our patriotic decorations out all of July. We have the 4th of July to celebrate for our country, but we also celebrate the 24th of July for I guess what I have always grown up knowing as Pioneer Day. Since I decided not to make a whole entire quilt I had the panel left that I of course wasn't going to use for the dresses so I decided to make a nice wall hanging with. I don't have any patriotic decorations for my home so this will be my first one.
I am really excited to quilt this one myself. I have it all basted and ready to quilt. I will probably quilt it tonight or tomorrow because I want to have it done before the 4th of July.......Well at least that is my goal. I love all the deep saturated colors that Northcott Fabrics uses. So I am just as excited about these projects as I am with anything I make with their fabric.
This panel would make a great center to a quilt!!! I just didn't decide to use it that way this time around. It will look great once it is finished. After quilting panels like this......many times they look like a quilt you actually pieced together. It is a really cool feature with panels like these. That is my goal with this panel. I am confident it will turn out great and can't wait for the finished product.

I would like to win this bundle because we just moved back to the States from 10 years in Russia, where all my children were born, and I would like to make decorations for the 4th of July with them. I'm trying to focus on American holidays this year to teach them why they are celebrated. Thanks for the beautiful giveaway! sarah@forrussia.org

My husband is a veteran and I've wanted to make him a quilt for awhile using patriotic and Marine Corp fabrics. So far I've been able to buy the Marine Corp fabrics, but still have not purchased the patriotic colors. This bundle would be perfect to use with what I already have.
ReplyDeleteI think it is beautiful fabric, I love Northcott fabrics and I know that at some point I will make something lovely with this group. I have made QOV's and won't hesitate to help out in the future. Thanks for the giveaway. Love the little dresses and the models are very cute.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make a Quilt of Valor for my son-in-law. He served a tour in Afghanistan. I've been looking for the perfect fabric to use and this sure looks like it would fit the bill!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea to make 4th of July dresses. My daughter has been wanting to make a 4th of July quilt to use to sit out and watch the fireworks and if I'm the lucky winner, I'll pass the bundle along to her. Well, maybe most of it. Or some of it. At least a piece. Maybe. kthurn@bektel.com
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful fabrics. My son got his eagle scout award and since has been enamored with eagles and what they stand for. He will be getting married soon and these fabrics would make a wonderful wall hanging for his den. Those dresses you made are just adorable.
