Doll quilt done






I finished my doll quilt for ??? (it is a secret who it is for.) I will be mailing it today. I used machine trapunto for the feathered star. I am happy with the front of it, not thrilled with the back and binding though. I had done string piecing for the back, but didn't get it exactly square, so I made the binding wide on the back to cover the uneven border fabric on the back. Not perfect, but at least it will be on a wall. Hope ???? likes it!

1st purse made





I went to a 3 day retreat, and there made my first purse. It is called an Ashley bag, but I can't remember the name of the designer. I think it turned out really cute, and will make more.

Doll quilt swap 2, top done


I finally finished my top for the Doll Quilt swap on about.com. It is a feathered star inside a feathered star, with snowballs around the edges. Now I just have to figure out how I will quilt it.
