Houston Quilt Market Part Two

This sample for the Houston Quilt Market was a Miss Molly, size 6, View A (no ruffle).
I fell in love with this set of Moda fabrics when I was at Lacy's Quilt Studio on vacation. I picked most of my fabrics for market from the same set. This is something I rarely do because they usually look to 'matchy' to me, but these had the coordinate but not really the 'matchy' feel to me -maybe someone out there will understand what I just said! LOL!
Molly loves it and I feel like it may even work for Christmas- Remember Christmas here is just barely long sleeve weather.
I will be back tomorrow with the third (and maybe my favorite) dress for market.

I can't believe your dresses will be at Market but you won't. You need to go so we can hang out and pet all the pretties!

Oh, so sweet. Samantha, I just downloaded your Miss Madeline pattern and have a question. I hope you don't mind me inquiring here... On adding the "skirt" (p.2), how many inches directly (directly, right?) below point A is point B (size 5). Then, how many inches below point B is point C? How type-A can a person be? LOVE your dresses! Thanks gobs!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
