Many thanks to Christine at the Winnowings blog for letting me know she's stitched several potential inaugural ball gowns (in quilt block format, of course!) for Michelle Obama. Here's one golden off-the-shoulder formal (cotton) gown. Move over Sunbonnet Sue!
What a creative endeavor! I love these types of blocks. Kyra, thanks for providing us with great information on a consistent basis. It is often a wonderful break in my day to stop and see what you are sharing! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love the simple elegance of the gowns in the blocks. I think they're just perfect!!
ReplyDeleteWilla,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your note! I think the block is really cool.
And, it turns out Mrs. Obama did where gold/mustard color today for the Inauguration!
Best, Kyra
Definetly move over Sunbonnet Sue!!
ReplyDeleteGood block for 21st century girls- and it has style. You can do a lot with it. Great to have such an elegant and strong lady in the White house.
Wow! This gown IS amazingly similar to the one that she wore at the inauguration balls!
