The Kitty Quilt

A while back a friend of mine asked my mom to make her a quilt with cats on it. Leanne bought the fabric and my mother (86 and bedridden) crafted the blocks by hand. I embroidered over every seam, put the blocks together and had it quilted. I brought it home and added the binding. Here is a picture of the finished product.

My "American Girl" Doll

Awhile back I bought an American Girl clone to use as a model for making doll clothes for my granddaughter. She was scandalized that my dolly arrived at my house "nekked". So after making myself some new denim shorts, I took the scraps and made my dolly an outfit. The shoes came from JoAnn's (with a coupon, of course). So here is my "Rebecca" stylin'. Her friend the sheep was made by my daughter.

Purple Serger Quilt

Just posting a picture of my latest project. My dear friend Polly gave me a pattern for this quilt after giving me a whirlwind lesson on my new serger. This is a quilt meant to be done entirely on the serger. I did cheat a little. I added some quilting lines not in the pattern and did the binding the regular way on my other sewing machine. I think the binding done on the serger creates cumbersome corners. The finished quilt measures about 36 by 36 inches. I think I will hang it on the wall of my sewing room since purple is my favorite color.
