Dresden plate flowers on the shower curtain

This silly little project has taken me months to finish.

Sigh.

I was digging around in my cabinet and found a stack of vintage quilt pieces I bought at an estate sale and had the brilliant idea to make them into smiley flowers for a shower curtain.

Except it meant piecing the plates together, embroidering the faces, sewing the plates on, sewing the stems on.

Loooooooooooong time.

Also, sewing them onto the microfiber shower curtain fabric? HARD!

But they are cute.

And smiley.

I bought 24 yards (!) of jumbo ric rac for the stems.

Cha-ching.

At least now I can enjoy those fabrics instead of them sitting in a box.

Happy Sunday to you!

P.S. Next weekend is labor day weekend. Time to sign up for the Halloween swap? I think I will open it up next Sunday. Just in case you want to get in. :-)
