A kitchen almost complete...just waiting for a splash back. Friends have shared a meal to celebrate the passing of another year...
With delicious cake (super yummy red velvet)...
The new island bench has been used to create...but a fabric concoction not a food one! Trying different ways to achieve a lovely appliqué circle...
But returned to my perennial favourite...needle turn, to play with centres for the vintage Dresden.
I have procrastinated over the centres...they are quite big and most fabrics auditioned dominated the block....oh, what to do, what to do! I ended up at a local shop, Pot Pourri Cottage, finally I found some fabrics and devised a plan.
Each Dresden will have two fabrics for their centres, and I think I will have different combinations for each of the four blocks. It will be interesting to see how it progresses.
Lastly, a pic of me. Like most of us, I prefer not to post pics of myself, but I thought an update was in order. So here we go!
Hope all is well wherever you are!

Oh the kitchen looks so nice....and to celebrate with friends is even better. I love the quilt pieces....
I think we all dislike having our pictures taken and prefer to do the taking...but it is nice to see you "again"...
What a wonderful space. I love the big center island. Useful for basting quilts, right? :o) I heart anything dresden. Those are beauties. Nice to see you.
How nice to see your almost complete kitchen. It looks lovely especially that wonderful large island! Your dresdens look super too!
Your white kitchen is stunning...you would have to be so happy with it :) Love your Dresden plates, and so nice to see you again!
Love seeing the new kitchen, the splash back will really finish it. So nice to have a big, workable, organised space isnt it! Dresdens look good, I am doing a work shop for them next month, so it was nice to see yours especially with the 2 toned centres, which I think works well.
Nice pic of you...but no cardy?!! Hope you get some more free time soon as life settles down.
The kitchen looks beautiful and so does your sewing, nice to see you again, if only in a photo :)
Fabulous kitchen. Love the island bench. The Dresdens look great. Hugs,xx
Lovely Dresdans, I like the two colours in the centre. What a beautiful kitchen. Hugs.....

The kitchen is looking great, love that big island bench (insert drool here). The two colours in the centre of the dresdens is a good solution. Lovely photo too, looking healthy and relaxed.
Happy celebration! Love the big island in your new kitchen.
What a brillaint solution for your centers.
Nice to "see" you.

Your kitchen is gorgeous, I love the centre island...a great kitchen to mingle in...is that Leas behind??? lol
Your dresdans are coming along nicely, I think the blur has hit most of us lately.
The pic of you is gorgeous Alison & you suit that colour top too. You almost made me forget how much I swooned at the white kitchen - or was that the cake... Needleturn circles, just those words make me quiver with fright! Tracee xx
Have heard such a lot about you from Loz thought it was about time I dropped in....How good is a new kitchen mine is just over a year old I love it much smaller than yours tho ..I love the island bench..& your Dresdens are smashing it has reminded me that I have a top waiting to be quilted ( amongst many more ) !!

your kitchen looks great, glad to see you have done some sewing, it's awful that full time work isn't it....just interferes with everything

Loving your kitchen, absolutely beautiful! Your dresdens look great, the two fabric centres is a super way of softening the centre fabric. Lovely to 'see' you too, great pic of you Alison!
Noice kitchen Cardy! That work life balance is almost impossible to achieve don't you think? Oh to be independdently independent.
Dresdens are looking good, I like your solution, still plenty of space in the centre for some quilting too.
BTW will you be managing to make Sydney Quilt Show this year?

Your new kitchen is gorgeous, I bet now it feels like it was worth the wait. Your Dresdens look great too and I like the idea of the two colours for each centre.
Your kitchen is so wonderful Alison! Pretty Dresdens too!
