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.

I've been featured!

I am super excited to be featured over on Feeling Stitchy for my Parisville Cameo embroidery. I am not an embroidery girl, this was a total spur of the moment idea that I just made up as I went along! So if you think you can't do it - don't believe it! Go check out Feeling Stitchy and leave me some love... and maybe learn some new skills too. It's a really cool blog.
