Reading Keryn's post about her quilting slump has made me think about the slump that I've been in since last year. My first love is heirloom sewing/smocking/embroidery. I started on my heirloom journey 5 years ago and have loved every minute of it. Last spring, I suddenly didn't want to think about sewing or even look into my sewing room. The only thing that sparked my interest was quilting. So I began the quilting journey. I get so sad thinking about heirloom because I just can't make myself do it. I've tried and it sparks no life. So I decided to quilt and put heirloom out of my mind for a while. Then along comes Katie Faith on December 16, 2005, and suddenly I feel the spark again :) I haven't picked up a needle yet but the inspiration is slowly coming back. This is a dress that I made when Faith (my little sister) found out that she was pregnant last spring. It doesn't fit Katie yet, but it won't be long at the rate she is eating ;) This one doesn't have much embroidery but I spent lots of time doing the entredeaux stitching next to the lace. Enjoy!
