It was bound to happen sooner or later. I was smocking one of my favorite smocking designs, Ellen McCarn's "Tulip Garden", on yellow gingham, and started having one of those moments when everything seems a little too familiar. It finally came to me. I had used this same design on yellow gingham about 20 years ago for a special birthday dress! Same fabric, same smocking, different style dress.

That is one of my all time favorite plates. I wouldn't worry about making it again, it's so beautiful and the fabric and plate go so perfectly together that it's no wonder you paired them again.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried picture smocking. I suppose it is time to give it a go. This work is lovely!
