Monday Making

I just returned from a great trip to Switzerland.
:)
Right before leaving, I finally settled on WHAT
to take for HAND WORK.
The. most. important. item. to. pack!

I took along a few of these vintage dresden plates.
I have a whole stack!

After quickly machine basting twice through...
I had JUST what I needed to work on!
I am appliqueing around the outside of petals
and then I will add a center piece.

I also took wool yarn and knitting needles 
for my husband's new beanie.

I finished just in time
for a little alpine horn blowing!


What are YOU making this week???

  5. Visiting Switzerland is on my bucket list. The vintage dresdens are wonderful. I also have some vintage fabric. Your post is a reminder that I need to do something with it.

  9. The plates are so pretty on those backgrounds!!! (And I totally agree: when a trip is coming, I'm immediately planning my handwork!). Also, I was in Switzerland back in the day before our kids were born - it was magical and beautiful. I hope you had a great trip! You and your hubby are so cute.
