Doll Quilt Sent

Now that my Doll Quilt has been received I feel better about posting it. If you follow me on Flickr you may have seen sneaks of this one since it's for the DQS13 swap. My partner was Louise (aka Lululollylegs) and her favorites seemed very different from my usual style. She did have embroidery on her favorites and low volume quilts. I ran with those and this was my result. The final size of this is about 19" by 19".

Can you see why I didn't post about it sooner?

I think that would have given it away huh? I got the embroidery pattern from Urban Threads (Love them!).

The fabrics were a bunch of fat quarters from my LQS Sew Smart Fabrics so I don't know all the names of them.

I used my regular label and wrote all the information on it. It was a little too close to the year change for me and I wrote 2012 on it first! ARGH! I had already basted the thing so I was stuck and just wrote 2013 over it. Hopefully she doesn't mind too much.

This was my first time participating in this swap and I didn't realize so many people did special things with the backs of these mini's too. Next time I will know. I've been blown away by the creativity in this group and I hope to sign up for the next round. Hope you like it partner!



Oh, and I did include some Denise Schmidt fabrics as an extra goody, but forgot to take a  picture of that.

Doll Quilt Swap Received

I have been participating in the 13th round of the Doll Quilt Swap. I haven't shown much of my quilt because I'm waiting for it to be received first. It has some identifiers on the front that will give it away!

But, I received my happy mail this weekend! This little beauty came from AnnaMichelle:

Isn't it so cute!? I love the way she matched the border with the stars. Very clever! I have the perfect spot over my fabric shelves to hang it!

Here's the back so you can see the fantastic quilting.

And she included some extra goodies which was so sweet of her. And funny because I have recently read the Friday Night Knitting Club series and have been tossing the idea of crocheting or kitting! Now I have the perfect excuse to try. If you have a great beginner pattern or tutorial you like, please let me know!

Thank you so much Anna! I love it all.
