One of our customers (thank you Betsy) suggested to me that I start blogging my stitching progress and so I decided that would be a terrific idea! I usually stick with the original color wave when I start a huge project such as this. It saves me from buying twice as much fabric!

Step 1 - Selecting the fabric, threads and stabilizers.

The main fabric that I selected is "Dimples" By Andover Fabrics (color C2). It is a great tone-on-tone blue grey and perfect match for this collection.
