Meet Dorothy

Dorothy is a simple 16-patch -- half Kaffe Fassett polka dots, half Connecting Threads pin dots. She measures 72 x 80 inches. Her backing is a white-on-white polka dot, batting is a bamboo & cotton blend, quilting is wiggle zigzag & her binding is striped.

She's been finished for a while, but with the shorter days & bad weather -- which always seemed to come on the weekend! -- I haven't been able to get a good photo. We got to use her during the cold snap & she works just fine! Could I love Dorothy more? I don't think so!

Polka Dot Day

The clock is winding down on it, but I just wanted to give a Tip of the Hat to National Polka Dot Day!

Yay! Polka dots! They always make me smile.

I didn't actually go through my stack of quilts or rummage through my quilt images, but I would say that many of my recent quilts have at least one polka dotted fabric in them. The first to really feature them was my fruity stars that I made about -- hmm, maybe 15 years ago. At that time, dots were hard to find (yes, dark days indeed) & I bought some of every kind & color that I found.

We are so lucky in so many ways, not the least is that polka dots -- of every stripe sort -- are available to us today!
Yay! Polka Dot Day!
