Doll Quilt-a-palooza!

I finished my doll quilt for the doll quilt swap a couple of days ago. It turned out great! I am soo happy with it :)

I have started on a selvedge quilt too. Here's a preview pic:

I also hosted a doll quilt swap on a board I frequent. I am soo impressed with the quilts everyone made. I asked if I could blog them and they said yes!

These were made by Kelli. The top one came to live with me yesterday and I LOOOVE it! So perfect.

Krista made these rockin' applique quilts. She hand drew the second one. So impressive!

Tif made this beautiful quilt! I heart the fabrics!

Joy made this stunner from repro and vintage fabrics.

Shari made this sweet quilt. Love the chicken fabric!

They make me happy just looking at them. And trust me, I need some happy lately ;)

Some more happy I bought:
yum
yummier
yummiest

I saw that Jennifer Paganelli fabric on her blog about a month back and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Now, I just have to wait for the postal service!!!

I also got two great embroidery patterns, here and here. The first is so sweet and idyllic. It's destined for a patchwork pillow with some of the above fabric. The second is by Andrea Zuill, who is so talented.  I am so in love with her quilts, paintings, and free embroidery patterns. I would have stitched them all already if there were more hours in the day. She gives a free embroidery pattern out every month, so keep an eye on her blog!

I think that's quite lengthy enough for today! Have a great day ya'll!

More tomorrow, but I am really pleased with how this turned out so far :)

Before i go to the bunker...

The weather is supposed to get pretty bad here tonight. I imagine we will spend part of the night with Brice's Granny because she has a storm shelter.

I wanted to show off what I finished last night:

This is for the tea towel & kitchen surprise swap on Swap-Bot. I bought a silicone spatula at Wally World, and painted the handle in the same color as the Sublime Stitching Krazy Kitchen embroidery. I hope she likes it :)

Well, I need to go pick up, because if my house gets blown away, at least it will be clean right?

Have a great day ya'll!

A few things..

I understandably haven't gotten to do much crafting in the past few weeks, but I have done a little.  I have quite a few swaps to complete, and I am behind on one I am hosting.

Aren't these girls cute?

I finished them the week before last. I am going to use them to hold embroidery thread and trim. They were inspired by kawaii cute things like decole. The girls keep trying to take them, so I may have to make them some to play with.

i made and finished this doll quilt during the Memphis/Kansas game. I REALLY wanted Memphis to win, but oh well, the Lady Vols brought another one home :) Back to the quilt, I used her favorite colors of blue and aqua, and one of her favorite things-hedgies. I am really starting to like working with linen too. Hopefully she'll like it.

Have a great day ya'll!

An update...

Me and my "Ma"

My grandmother passed away last Wednesday. All the craziness that follows is kinda starting to settle down. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.

She will be missed terribly.
