Hi, I didn't get any good presents but I have, post-holiday, made some progress on the 1/12 scale 1849 dinner dress with the quilled trim. I got some really small (4/0, 5/0, 8/0 and 11/0) knitting needles before the holidays that I'm using as mandrels for the quilling. Yesterday I finished the berthe with three rows of quilling and today patterned out the skirt. Next week, on to the skirt, and cutting and pressing 108" of bias strips from the pink organza, sewing them into tubes, and ruching them for the skirt quilling. Then a dozen tiny silk roses... and then PICTURES!
