I thought this would be an easy quilt to piece and quilt on my new Juki. I just used a variety of scrap reproduction fabric. I had been wanting to make a little doll quilt for a doll bed I have. I stayed pretty close to the way the example looked in the book. It went together perfectly! I want to make every quilt in Kathleen's book! You can find Kathleen here.
Scooter and Sarge always offering a helpful paw or two. :-)
Have you ever done that? That was the backing. UGH. I think I was so excited to be making this sweet little project, I wasn't paying attention.
I used a blue water soluble marker to mark diagonal lines before quilting. The binding is a single fold.
Done. Washed and dried. I love how crinkly it looks now.
Fits perfectly in the doll bed. I had the girls place their Elizabeth American Girl Dolls in there.
Here is the little area at the bottom of my stairs, outside of my studio. I love to decorate with quilts. It adds such warmth to a home.
I bought this gorgeous shelf in Shipshewana a few years ago, but just finally hung it this year. I had to find just the spot. Oh and yes, there are 2 of the same Santas on my shelf. Sigh, I bought one and then the next year bought another not realizing I already had him. lol
I love nine patch quilts too!!! I picked up this antique one last February in Shipshewana. Love the use of color placement and fabric in the nine patches.
My tree stays up all year. Not a Christmas tree. :-) More of a nightlight after I leave the bright lights of the studio at night.
Over here more quilts. My little gourd snowman. :-) A gift from my inlaws several years ago. Mon Ami Schnibbles hanging. My very first quilt to quilt on the longarm!!
And I finally hung my Summer Love Baskets from the Temecula Quit Co. sew-a-long last July.
I am going to be the lady of leisure this weekend. I had minor, yet extremely painful foot surgery today. Long overdue!!! I had been putting it off for just the right time, but really when is that?? I just couldn't stand the pain any longer. Especially when I am quilting at my machine. ACK!!! So, hopefully Monday I will be back at it. :-)
