A special thanks to the head cheerleader Madame Samm and blog hop organizer Christine of Quilt Monster in my Closet for bringing a brand new Dresden blog hop to the online quilting world!
I’d never made a Dresden block before, but I have three under my belt now! They each measure 17 inches across and are headed to Oklahoma tomorrow to meet their new “mama” from Stash Bee.
I used Darlene Zimmerman’s Easy Dresden ruler and it worked like a charm. So let’s have a giveaway! I have a happy surprise for one lucky blog-hopper today! A charm pack of 25 Riley Blake small chevron prints!!! Just leave any comment to be entered and you can get an extra entry for being a follower or becoming one. The winner will be picked Sunday night.
Thanks for for visiting my blog today. I hope you can take a few seconds and check out some of my recent blog posts and projects. Be sure to stop at all the other blog hop stops on today’s schedule!
