If this summer had a sewing theme, it would be the Dresden Plate. I was inspired by Anna Maria Horner's use of Dresden plates in her quilts and the lovely plates @MariaUtah (on Instagram) made at Craft-South. I came home and almost immediately cut into the large stash of napkins I made for my wedding- a pile of fabric I have been hanging on to for five years, waiting for just the right bit of inspiration to get me moving. Funny how that happens. Stay tuned.
