Lori's Dresden Block

 This month

as members of 

The Bees Knees

Quilting Bee

we are making 

12 Inch

Dresden Blocks 

for Lori Holt

of Bee In My Bonnet

Would you believe that up until now

 I have never made a Dresden block before?

Lori taught me how to make one years ago

when we were on a retreat together

nestled in a cabin up in Wyoming.

Ever since then, the block has been

on my to-do list.

I'm so glad she sent this as her

Bees Knees 

choice for us to try!

 Lori mailed us a package 

with all the pieces cut out 

from her 

Bake Sale 

line of fabric.

Not only does Lori design the cutest fabrics,

she also has wonderful rulers.

The Dresden's were cut 

using Lori's Thimble Ruler

And the interfacing already had the circles

drawn from Lori's Circle Ruler

 The block worked up quickly.

I really had fun seeing it how cute the Dresden 

circle looked in her Bake Sale fabrics. 

Lori provides a step by step

Tutorial on how to make the

Easy 12" Dresden Block

 She sent us enough fabric to make two:)

Merry Christmas my dear friend.

I'm so happy we get to be  

 Bees Knees together.

Everything she does is vintage wonderful.

As you can see from the childhood picture

shown in her banner

she even started out cute.

Doesn't this picture just make you smile?
