my latest obsession: dresden plate

The Dresden Plate design has to be my absolute favourite thing in quilting right now.  I am truly and absolutely obsessed.

What I want is to create a quilt of my own, what I need is the energy to do so.  Imagining a project that could take weeks or months has always been a huge road block, and I think this is where my motivation is dying here.  But soon enough I will be off work and I’ll have a little free time to work on personal craft projects.

For now I just wanted to share some of my inspirations.  For more quilt inducing photos, check out the Dresden Plates in Quilting group on Flickr.

is more than a little deceiving.  If only you knew what it took to make this thing fit me.

I’ve been playing around with clothing a little more recently and I thought I’d give applique a try.  I’ve done lots of reverse applique and patchwork in the past, but nothing quite like this.

It’s all a relatively simple pattern, but I like it because it reminds me of peacock feathers.  Maybe when I grow up I can be a beautiful boy peacock; all proud and boastful.  Only time will tell….
