I, too, have purchased most of them, even though I doubt I'll make many/any, I just want to have them to investigate the pattern sheets and techniques!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646506480120500856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-91085738742282767332009-07-18T18:24:46.168-04:002009-07-18T18:24:46.168-04:00Love the Gelato Collection Carolyn!

Looking at the Rucci dress, you could do a transitional piece to take the gelato group toward fall by using the yellow as trim on a gray (or similar) piece. That would look great on you!Gorgeous Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105281854898289918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-83408939035734064882009-07-17T08:18:59.179-04:002009-07-17T08:18:59.179-04:00Seeing the Gelato collection in one pictorial spre...Seeing the Gelato collection in one pictorial spread made me smile!
