Before I ever went to church yesterday morning, I also had to frost a birthday cake.
My hands were shaking, so it does not look great. It was a gluten free cake, I promise to share the recipe.
Out of ten Dresden plate blocks, 7 got appliqued, 6 yo yo's made and sewn on, and two buttons sewn on. For more information on these plates go here.
Here is an update on my hexagon quilt also. I have one more block to sew the border on. Then I can start attaching the flowers together and filling in the rest of the "garden path" around the "flowers". I am so afraid that I am going to attach the flowers crooked, since I have no idea what I am doing! LOL I have not really worked much on the hexies lately, although I am sure I will get a lot done on the 6 hour bus trip to my mom's in October. Please excuse the yellow post it notes, it tells me what order to attach the flowers. I'll work more on this quilt once I finish my Dresden plates.
I also finished a dress(two weeks ago) for a friend. I forgot to take a picture of her, but did take one while she was in choir.
What have you been up to?

Your Dresden Plates look fabulous -- as do your hexies. I think I like unusual shapes. The cake you frosted looks terrific!! I bet it was much appreciated. Have a great day -- hope you get through your goals and keep that sore throat at bay!! :)
Missy, I need to go take a nap after reading everything you've accomplished in a few days. WOW!!! This morning at breakfast I told my husband I was in the mood to start a quilt. I told him how you are making the Dresden Plates at breaking speed and then I read your blog and see where you baked a gluten free cake, made a dress, and made homemade bread, wrote a blog, along with other things. The quilts are pieces of art. You achieve much daily. I hope the sore throat gets better.
You have been busybusybusy. The dresdens are looking good but i still think you need to make an extra as a Halloween kitty collar. LOL. Thanks for joining my Hexie Linky Party today!
So cute...Love that dress! And love the colors! Do you have materials for another one like it? How much do you charge for such projects?
Those Dresden plates look great! I love the colors!
I haven't been nearly as busy as you have (outside of work). Wow, you really have a lot going on at the same time. It all looks wonderful!
