Challenge doll and a quilt

 I have been working on a challenge for my quilt guild. The theme is fantasy garden. I was allowed to make a doll so I did. I used Allsion Marano's Vernal Muse pattern and then put her on a base which I had glued flowers and grass and rocks. The yellow, red and green fabrics were the ones we were given to work with for the challenge.

 Side view sows her hat which was a Christmas tree ornament. She has little leaf wings. I named her Garden Fairy.

This is my granddaughter Mallorie's quilt that I finally quilted and gave to her. It was supposed to be for Christmas. Well, better late than never! I made the top from a flannel jelly roll and then the back was flannel too. Hard to quilt on my home machine but I finished.

Baby quilt

My niece just had a baby girl. I made this quilt for her. It is bright but I love bright colors for a baby. I think it is stimulating!

It has been hot here in Northern California. Thank goodness we don't have the humidity of the mid west and east coast. It makes those 100+ days easier to get thru.  I have been inside a lot so am getting a lot of sewing and crafting done!

baby quilt

My niece had a baby boy last week. Derrick! He is a little cutie and such a mellow baby. This is the quilt I made for him. The theory is that red, black, and white are very stimulating for babies brains. It makes a cute quilt!
