Feature Friday!

The Spangler at The Quick Unpick made this adorable ruffled dress for her daughter from a thrifted top - and she has a really in-depth tutorial on how she made it. Seriously, it is brilliant.
Cherry Coloured Twist posted a seriously well-written narrative about this blue quilt she made - I thought the quilt and the writing were too beautiful to overlook. Plus, it's the first quilt she's ever made! If only mine had looked that good!
Andrea from Addicted 2 Tutes made this sewing machine cover from a free tutorial - she's got lots of other links to tutorials on her blog, plus she reviews for you.
It doesn't happen often, but occasionally I'll see something on an American blog that really makes me ache for 'home'. This Peep Nest Cake from Suzy's Artsy Craftsy Sitcom pulled at my heart a little bit. I love Peeps, especially if they're slightly stale, and my dad would always buy them for me around Easter. I haven't had any in years! (Hello, America, please post me some Peeps!) And anyway, the cake is pretty cute.

Ok, I gotta go for now - need to pack for the weekend, etc. If you were featured and you want a button, here they are:
