Sprucing Up – Boho inspired Dresden pillow (sewing finishes)

My niece asked for bows and I started making them.  They are no-sew and just need a hot glue gun (I used this tutorial).  I liked them so much I made some for myself.  Not really to wear, but maybe. Then I got into my crochet lace stash, and after that I made the little…

I made Dilly Dally slowly, in the in-between moments, with quiet hands and a busy heart. Each block gave me a reason to pause.

The long journey is complete. 💛 Dilly Dally is The long journey is complete. 💛Dilly Dally is finished, front to back, and I couldn’t be more in love. This version uses Jellybean Meadow for both the quilt top and the wide back, and every stitch feels like sunshine and wildflowers. 🌼If you’ve been dreaming of making your own, kits are ready and waiting.
✨ Just out of the dryer. ✨ I'm in love! 🥰 ✨ Just out of the dryer. ✨  I'm in love! 🥰 #dillydallyquilt
