1 down, 3 to go...

Here is the first dress that I worked on.  This pattern wasn't too challenging except for the actual tulips.  I had to take out several of them and re-work them to get them to look right.  But overall, it went fairly quickly.  I started this project last Monday and finished it by Friday night.  I worked on it for a few hours in the afternoon and evenings each day.  I'd say it took about 8-10 hours total.  Not sure if that is good or not, but if I continue with the rest of my projects at the same rate, I will be able to finish them all before the baby is born, which is my goal.  I am currently working on a pale blue dress for Anna Ruth, but it will be more elegant.  Check back in for more progress updates!

Wow, that is really good! If we ever end up in Charleston again and you all are still there, you will have to teach me how to do that! You are so talented at so many things!
