Christ is life, love (family, friends) is essential, reading is sustenance and crochet (or quilting) is everything else! "Love the Lord your God.

Aunt Irma's dress
This is the dress I'm making for my younger son's wedding. I ordered the thread from www.crochetaustralia.com.au which was really cool. We have 7 different brands of the same colors here, but they had a lovely selection including the winter white I was looking for.
I'm duplicating this one in size 3 with size 20 thread and an 8, 1.25mm steel hook, but will make 2 others with size 10 thread in size 5. Also increasing the needle size on the skirt as I progress.
This dress was made by my daughter-in-laws Aunt Irma for her grandmother. Her mother and aunts wore it, as did she and her sister. I'm happy that this new one will be one my granddaughters can wear.

Kudos on starting your own blog! That is a gorgeous dress! I hope some day I can make things like that...so far I'm still mastering the art of the rectangle! :o) lol
Love your header, too, by the way...I've never read that verse in the msg before, but it captures the meaning so well!
Beautiful! Are you selling the pattern? I would love 2 make one 4 my dd.
Beautiful! Are you selling the patterns for this dress?
Sorry, no pattern yet. I am reading it and crocheting as I go. Right now, I'm crocheting a christening gown based on this and another christening gown.
thanks for asking
Hi,
I think you have a good looking blog and that's a great picture of your dog.
Congrats.
