Farmers Wife in Your Life

I did it, I got it done with 24 hours to go phew!!!!!!!
Well here's the blocks I used, six if them
Three Ohio stars & three Churn dash, quite challenging I have to say
& definitely not perfect by any stretch of the imagination....


So I decided to make a skirt for Ella with these wee cutie sewn in...

She's real happy with it, will have to get a cute top to match though!!


I used a cut off pair of jeans for the top section


And finished it off with some ric rac trim, my all time favorite, goes with 
just about anything. 
I'm happy to have it done so I'm off now to submit it,
then its time to sit & enjoy Stargate the movie with Ella & her twin friends Sophia & Noah.
Wish me luck
Lots of Love

  14. Oh my goodness - I want one just like it! You clever girl - it's amazing. What a lucky girl she is. I love the ric rac - it finishes it off perfectly (and reminds me of my dresses when I was little).
