Doing the DresdenEverybody is doing the Dresden, except me because I'm late to the dance. ;-) I've been wanting to make a Dresden Plate quilt for a long time but kept procrastinating. No more - I'm in serious Dresden Plate mode. LOL
I spent the afternoon in my 'happy place' sewing away - making dresden plates. I was relaxed, smiling, humming and thinking about next dresden plate project! Oh yes, I was because when people say these are addicting I now know they mean it.
There's so much I want to tell you about these pretties but it's going to be a much longer post and I need to get it together. Stay tuned.
Thank you for stopping by to visit - I appreciate you.
In Friendship!

It's been forever since I dropped by! Love your dresdens. I just started on mine as well. It's funny, you just need a good design, a different look, and something old becomes new.
Your Dresden plate blocks are wonderful; have to love the Dresden Plate block, it is so feminine and cheerful. Now where did I put my unfinished blocks?
They are lovely Darlene!! It is nice to even have a short post from you:)
I love making dresdens too. I could sit around and do them all day.
I've made one dresden quilt and want to make another (especially since I sold the first one). I love your fabric on your blades.
wonderful colors too!
Dresdens are the best! I love yours!
I just finished a wallhanging with dresdens on it also, a modabakeshop pattern, it turned out lovely! I love your colors, can't wait to see it altogether:)
Gorgeous! I'm making more than one too. They are so much fun - and I keep thinking of all of these great combos for them! o:)

Pretty pretty Dresdens! You may be a little late to the party but it looks like you'll catch up in no time!
oh they are wonderful. You've got the dressies bug too.
Beautiful! You might even be able to persuade me to give them a go!
Love your dresden plates. I just may have to break down and do some. Will be anxious to hear more about them. Nola
Fun to make, aren't they! You could become addicted.
I love Dresdens! Those are pretty darn cute too. Think of all the alliterative fun you can have -- Darlene's Dresdens!
They are fun and addicting. Yours are lovely. I'm wishing I had time to make some.
Really beautiful Darlene aka Sunshine - and the colors you choose really make them snap. Now I need to add "another" thing to my want to do list.
Hugs - Karen
So very very lovely.
Your Dressies are gorgeous Darlene! Weren't you the one that had a bad experience with them before? Look at those-- just beautiful1!!
Gorgeous colors - this is going to be a wonderful quilt. I've made three Dresden Plate quilts - and have one ready for the quilter and one in process. I have used real 70s fabrics - not repros - 30s repros and 50s fabrics - I love them all.
