Customer projects

Wow, it is a month since my last blog post - bit slack of me I think. But today I want to put up 2 projects by my fabulous customers. One is a quilt and the other is a doll. Both are wonderful.
Firstly the quilt, made by Karlene, from a Rivendale pattern, for her new grandson. The original is done in pretty pastel colours and Karlene has changed that a bit. Love her choices. The fabric in the stars is fussy cut to have individual little animals in each one.

Isn't it fabulous. The pattern is called Be My Friend, and the verse on the heart is perfect for a special new baby.

and this one is Eddie, another fabulous doll from Shelly. It is a Jill Maas pattern and he is so cute. Shelly always does a great job on these dolls. She is working on a new one, I think, and will send me pics when she has finished it.

I am heading off to Quilt Market very soon and hope to find lots of wonderful new stuff while I am there. I will try to do some blog posts while I am traveling to show off all the fabulous things I see.

Dolls

I have been wanting to make some dolls for ages, and I haven't gotten around to it. But I have a pattern picked out and now I'm looking for some fabric. It is a simple doll but I need to start somewhere as I haven't made a doll for over a year. I love all the Jill Maas designs but I'm not really ready to start them at the moment, but I thought I would post a picture of one made by a customer. This is Shelly's Fred and Frogs in a Box. The pattern is by Jill Maas.

Isn't he so cute, I love him. Great work Shelly.

I will post some pictures when I pick fabrics and show the pattern I have chosen. This doll will be for me I think. 

Fabulous Valentine's Day

Well I had a wonderful Valentine's Day. I started a new class with Lynne Alchin to make a gorgeous applique and pieced quilt. I forgot to ask if I could post a photo, but I will check next time, and I will post photos of mine as it comes along.

But I've almost finished the one I started for Fiona. I love it, not sure if she will but I will be very happy to keep it if she doesn't like it. Just have to finish the blanket stitching and get it quilted. 

It's called Carolina Lily by In The Doghouse Designs.

And I had to go shopping today. Look at all the gorgeous new fabrics I got. Have a few ideas about some of them but nothing concrete yet. Haven't had a fabric shopping spree for ages. It was fun.

Fabulous doll

Today I am posting a wonderful picture of a doll made by one of my fabulous customers. The doll is Snowdrop & Frosty, and is a Jill Maas pattern. And it was made by the talented Shelly of Queensland. Isn't it great. She is all done in white and I love her. Check out the pearls and the cute little bunny she is carrying.  Snowdrop is actually on my list to make, but I haven't made a doll for ages so I don't know when she will happen.  

GOOD JOB Shelly.
