Another Doll Quilt

I know most of the time little doll quilts are just made to hang on the wall, but these little ones are actually for my grand babies to use.  I hope they get completely worn out!

I can't believe I finally completed two of them.  I'm thinking they might be addictive.  I only have one more to make for each of the girls to have one, then maybe I'll try making one to hang.  I hope this one and the next one get as much love as the previous one I made.  The baby has almost given up her blankie and has taken to carrying it with her everywhere.  

 It seems like this one fits the dolly nicely.

Christmas Got Away From Me

Yes, Christmas got away from me.  That's exactly what happened.  I won't bemoan the fact any more. The truth is just out there, and there isn't any way to reel it in and start over.

My handmade gifts didn't get finished on time, so store bought ones were given.  Now I can just go at my own pace, and someone might get a happy surprise sometime in the new year.

Here is one such finished gift, a doll quilt made from leftover fabric from the baby of the grand babies' baby quilt, (Is that apostrophe in the right place?) and a piece of embroidery I did a long time ago.

The embroidery pattern is one my mom gave me years ago in a set of Campbell's Soup Kids patterns. However, I like to think of this little soup kid as goldilocks in this quilt.

Stay-tuned, I hope to be showing a couple of more soon, at least by next Christmas.
