It is for Emily, made from her wedding dress which is no longer the case. The marriage I mean, not Panda Dreams or Emily.
I hope one day to place a photo of a finished MEMORY WALL QUILT on this page.
I have designed the layout, the size of blocks required.
This is a very special Crazy Quilt project made from every piece of Emily's 1st wedding dress that I could possibly use. I have cut apart all the motif trims, butterflies, bows, flowers, beads, sequins, bodice, back, sleevves, front, buttons. You saw it in the photo, you will again see it in altered states and I hope to give this to Emily when she and Rob get married in the future. At this point I am hearing whispers of 2016. Let's see I believe I started this (ripping out each stitch was an easy beginning) in 2005 or 2006. It is now November 2014 and I'm back at it. The reason the whispers, and the fact that I gave my word to my darling daughter. I am updating the PANDA DREAM blog with each step I complete. For example (not in order of number) I just finished block 26 yesterday (Nov 6) and have scanned and added a special page. This page reflects on Emily's Great Great Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother and Emily her self.........you will have to read that page to know what was mentioned.
However, because I mentioned it, here are some photos on this subject
1: The wedding dress in its former splendor
2: Emily's own planner impersonator THE PANDA of EMILY'S DREAMS
3: The binder holding all the drawings, plans, embellishments, and even a few of the finished blocks
4: The very first block showing lots of items that were part of her wedding day.
5:Block #26 showing the Grandmothers Mother and Daughter items
6: The printed outline plans
