27 Dresses Challenge Week 2

Dress #9

Dress #10

Dress # 11

Dress # 12

Dress #13

This weeks dresses have if nothing else shown a great variety. A simple sundress great for the pool.  A pattern that brings back old memories. Another addition to the all wrapped up collection.  The fun and whimsy of a bright pink dress with a full circle skirt perfect for whatever spring and summer informal events come your way and finally my very favorite for the week......Lucky #13. Every girl needs the perfect little black dress in their closet and this one happens to be mine. It's super versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on shoes and jewelry!
So far the 27 dresses challenge has been a huge success with the exception of yesterday........I had a long day and just couldn't find it in myself to do anything when I got home beyond stretch out and cat nap with my Cowboy while he caught up on the latest episodes of Gangland and the Deadliest Catch.  Days like this are why I built a few extra days into my challenge!  Next week should bring some really exciting tings, I have a client coming over for a consult this afternoon, I have another project that will be ready to ship by Monday and I have traded work with one of my photog friends and if Sunday goes the way we plan I should have some new pictures to share next week!
Thanks for reading and as always I appreciate your comments!

27 dresses challange week 1

Hello all! Just wanted to give you all a quick recap of the dresses featured this week during the 27 dresses challenge!

Day # 1

Day # 3

Day #2

Day #5

Day # 7

Day #6

These are 5 of the 6 dresses I posted this week.  Day 4 is currently floating around cyberspace somewhere and refusing to download to my blogger site (I'm thinking it's probably a case of operator error, but I have to many other projects going to actually focus on that).  I have received LOTS of interest but no one has taken advantage of the great deals I'm offering along with my challenge.   I will continue to a daily dress for (hopefully) the next 20 days.  I'm hoping that sometime soon I can get some new pictures of people actually wearing some of these designs (even if it has to be me) so that everyone gets a better idea ofhow they fit and what they can be worn with or for.
 As always I appreciate everyone's input and I can't wait to hear form you!

27 Dresses

Hello All,

Yeah yeah yeah I know it's been nearly a month since I posted, sorry life gets in the way sometimes and I mean to and then I get sidetracked and realize I can't think of anything to say that sounds even mildly intelligent.  For those of you that are now asking ok Casey what does the movie 27 dresses have to do with making clothes and exploring your creative process.....I know you're thinking it, it's OK I'd probably be thinking the same thing if it wasn't my bright idea of course! So here it is...........

27 Dresses is one of my favorite movies but it actually has very little to do with this idea other than providing a catchy title.  I have issued myself a challenge, over the next 30 days I am going to feature a different dress on my Quilted Elephant Facebook page.  Some will be pictures from the archives that you might have seen when you first started visiting the page, some might be designs you recognize but in a fabric or length you've never seen,  some might even be pictures of me (taken in the mornings before I go to work by my super sweet husband who would usually much rather be sleeping than taking my picture) and some might be pictures of some of my loyal fans wearing their favorite Quilted Elephant dress.   My goal with this little exercise is to make the commitment to actually tend to my Facebook page on a daily (or every other day basis) and to reacquaint some of you with Quilted Elephant.  I have been sewing quite a bite lately, but I haven't been posting many pictures, usually because I'm repeating a design in another fabric and I don't want y'all to get bored, but I figure if I post one a day for the next 27 (ok maybe 30 days in case I miss one or 3) days they won't seem redundant and you as my loyal followers might see something that you would like to have.  That's the best part about this challenge, if you place an order for a ''dress of the day'' within 24 hours of it being posted you will get 10% off your order and free shipping on that item. (If multiple items are ordered you will get 10% off the entire order and discounted shipping to account for your dress of the day order).

The 27  Dresses Challenge will officially start on Friday, June 7, 2013.  The daily dress will be posted daily by 6pm and can be ordered at the discounted rate for 24 hours, even if  I post the next days photo in a shorter time frame.  I look forward to hearing from all of you and for those of you out there that are hold outs and have Quilted Elephant dresses that you've never sent me pictures of cough 'em you could be part of my 27 dresses challenge.  At the end of the challenge I will post all 27 dresses here so everyone can take one last look!

Thanks for reading and as always I look forward to your input
