Dear Abigail

I worked on a little dress for my great-niece today.  I LOVE making little girl clothes, and haven't had a chance to make much for the last few years. This is for Abigail.  She's turning 1 this week.  I still need to make a red tie for the front, but I thought this fabric was sweet, and would be cute for a Summer dress.  It says I "heart" USA.

Pattern is McCalls 6913  Thread is Aurifil Mako 50wt, plus serger thread (Maxi-Lock).  

Cute little red ball buttons, and jumbo ric-rac accent the fabric.  The white is a tone on tone with little stars on it.  I have other fabrics to make more dresses for her.  I just have to get on it!  It's fun to make something like this. I enjoy the variety.  It keeps my love of sewing and quilting active and fresh, and prevents the quilter's version of "writer's block". 

 Abigail? I can't wait to meet you! See you soon!

 Hugs and kisses, Great Aunt Maryellen
