Here is the newest doll, well, her head, anyway! As soon as I saw the large boucle yarn on Weir Crafts a few weeks ago I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

Saturday morning
My rosebud is opening up. Another bud is starting to open too. It’s been a busy couple of days, but in a way it feels like I’ve gotten nothing done. Don’t you hate that?

All of these went into the shop (except that last in-progress photo) but only the miniatures are left. I do like making things people enjoy!

Log Cabin Crib Quilt Top
My first log cabin quilt (top). It's approximately 48 inches square. My plan is to go purchase some fabric for backing some of these quilt tops this afternoon.
