Here is the latest dress for Lilly.
How can I thank you for all of your comments, hints, tips and kindness?! Thank you to all for leaving me words of encouragement and for reaching out in friendship! I always find writing the most challenging part of blogging and I wrote more about my appreciation of you but based on my husband's opinion:
"I think it is a little mushy" I have edited it away.
So let my give away be a token of my affection.
To celebrate I will be sharing with you!
Most of us who love to sew, drool over fabrics we see on other people's blogs, so why not share what I have?
I will draw 4 names, one for each pile of fabrics below. Many you have seen. Some are vintage and others new. I will add in some other treats as well- like tiny bits of Liberty to get you hooked too! By the way, take a look at what Alex is doing with Liberty fabrics. 
Someone will get some pinks!
And there has to be someone who would love some flowery brights?
And the blues. The vintage pansy fabric is one I am especially fond of.
You have seen a bit of these fabrics recently too.
In celebration of this 100th post, I will randomly draw 4 commenter's
names (commenters to this post) out of a hat and mail each of the winners one of the fabric piles plus whatever else strikes my fancy that day! I'll draw the names next Thursday, March 20th at 12 noon EST and announce it soon after.
I welcome those who have never visited or commented before to join too!
I love all the dresses you're making for Lilly. Congrats on your 100th post. I never remember to look and see what number I'm on or how many visitors I've had.

Emily congrats on the 100th post! What beautiful fabric. I am dreaming up so many ideas for all of it. I think my favorite though are the blues. You're right I could spend hours drooling over everyone's fabric:)
