....center....


....and a pineapple to finish one side...


....and on the other half....


...a sea turtle....


...and a tropical scene...makes me want to go on vacation too!


And as always, Marsha provides so many Wee Care gowns like this white on white...


....here's the closeup of the smocking....


This blue on white stands out...


....with its blue smocking and trim.


....and of course the mini Wee Care gowns...


She made this green one....


....with its smocking detail.


This green one has a different look....


...because she chose a very different smocking design....


...a sweet heart design....


This one in aqua is a little different variation...


....the color pops...


....in the smocking pattern...


....and in the subtle treatment of the hem line....


...and the sleeves.


This purple one, although similar....


....has its own uniqueness...


....in the smocking design.


....and finally, the blue one....


....with its VanDyke stitch smocking...


....which she taught us at our February meeting. Thanks Marsha!!!!
