Busy Quilting Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 My daughter's wedding is just now less than seven days away. I can now take a breather as I have finished making her dress. We bought the material and pattern in July last year when she came for a visit. She had my second grandchild Violet Elsie in late May this year so I did not start making this until July. She wanted simple to go with her cowboy boots! I have been sending her progress photos during the making, finished it today while she was having her hen's party. I was having a break as my husband took her 4yr old son, who has been with us for a week shopping. The buttons are from my wedding dress, there is a lace pocket in the hem also made from my wedding dress. I purchased the bluebird 40 years ago when in the USA on exchange. She won't see it until Thursday but I had to share why I have been missing in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
