Finished one baby quilt...........

This is my great-nephew Elijah

His quilt is finished and will be on its way to Tennessee today!

The quilt is hand pieced using the tumbler block paper pieces, his name and birth date are embroidered in the red border and it is hand quilted.

Tidbits for Thursday

It's a foggy fall morning here and the rain has started falling.  Think some baking and quilting are in order for today.

One more Dear Jane block finished!

It would be lovely to have Dorothy's  ruby red slippers, so I could tap them together and wish "there's no place like home", and transport myself to Kansas. Today is my mother's 94th birthday and it would be nice to be there to share it with her.

Gathering bits and pieces.........

I've joined another challenge (actually 3) at Cloth Doll Artistry.  Here I'm gathering bits and pieces that are possibilities for a new doll.  The only rules are to use the doll pattern-no instructions and it must have ribbon on it somewhere.  This fall handkerchief keeps popping up in my stash of stuff, so think it will become part of the doll dress.

Rainy days are perfect for quilting

I'm still working on baby quilts......................

(the one for my great nephew is close to being finished!)

 

 

but I took a wee break and finished one of my Dear Jane Blocks.............

I had a hard time with this one.  I redid parts of it a couple of times and decided this was as good as it was going to get.  There are so many seams in this one--makes it feel pretty bulky.

And this is my granddaughter Lilly at her 8th birthday party.
