Started this “simple summery dress” last year, had to redo the top part because the previous plan was very ugly. After a few wear decided that it needed some decorations. So I added a few flowers and beads. I am really happy to be able to wear it this summer though, it’s really comfy.

I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It’s a tiny rip, but I don’t want it to get any larger.

I’m a little embarrassed to post this since I’m a beginner, but I’m pretty happy to have finished this table runner. This is my very first attempt at free motion quilting! I’m not very experienced with applique either, but I do like the 3D effect from the dense quilting around the shapes....
