I had just ironed some Paris prints and decided to make them as a birthday gift for a friend who has everything.<\/p>\n<p>I was inspired by my sister&#8217;s love of Paris and France to buy these prints, but I decided that they were too brown and muted for me. I bought the Black Dress print at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/02\/north-coast-quilt-shops-pt-2-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Scottie Dog fabrics<\/a> in January and thought that fabric, used as a cuff, would tie the set together.<\/p>\n<p>I know that three is an odd number for a gift, but that was all the cuff fabric I had. I am not even sure I will be able to cut a piece of it for FOTY 2014. I might have another piece somewhere. We will see.<\/p>\n<p>I am pleased with how they came out and think the recipient will like them. I hope so, at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I needed to get back in the swing of sewing last week after being out of town.
