I know.......I haven't been here for awhile. I have been busy making dolls though.
I managed to get this ridiculous flu/cold thingy that went on and on and on. I have finally stopped coughing most of the time. I've gone for a couple of days now without much hacking and I'm sleeping again at night.
I emailed someone recently and she wanted to know why I was sending her mail at 3 o'clock in the morning. Well if you cough and cough and can't sleep what else is there to do?
Silly woman.....sheesh.
So......hello again and some news:)
Recently I was looking for some fabric to make this doll for an on line class called "Abundance" with the talented Angela Jarecki. As you can see she has a crazy quilted jacket....that's actually what attracted me most. I've always enjoyed embroidery and I've wanted to try crazy quilting so I figured why not:)
This is what I hope mine will look like......
So I went looking for fabric at various stores on Etsy and bought some from
Dianem's Etsy Shop as she had some very nice crazy quilting bundles on sale that I thought I could use for this doll.
I'm also a follower of
her blog and went over to see what was up and lo and behold she had a giveaway for a crazy quilting selection and guess what.......I won more FABRIC!!!!!!
I really couldn't believe it as I was the last person to put a comment. I know I've said this before but I should really start buying lottery tickets.
So I received the package today and I thought maybe I'd share what I'd won......lots of pretties to play with........
That last piece is so beautifully crafted.......really lovely.
Take care:)
