quilting and sewing

though haven't posted much lately, it doesn't mean there isn't plenty of sewing and quilting being done...this is the primary get 'er done project, two fabric paper doll books...

machine and hand sewing are called for putting these together...and they are adorable!  in addition to the "pages" with a variety of dolls appliqued on them, there was yardage of "clothing" requiring a few hours' worth of intricate, fussy cutting.  there are pockets inside the front/back covers where the clothes get stored.  they really are very cute and not as complicated as first thought, just plenty of TV time sewing....and when a change of pace is needed, still quilting on this UFO that is over half finished now.  determined to hack away at the UFO list this year...

this quilting design was chosen as the stencil has been on board for years and hardly used....hindsight being 20/20 as my divorce attorney said, might have selected something different but won't change it now....probably the final recipient won't care at all.   ***  winter is on/off, today being off and tomorrow definitely on so it'll be another full day of sewing fun with the required exercise squeezed in someplace.  so thankful my insurance covers half my YMCA membership, which is just one of many monday gratitudes!

    Oh those little paper dolls are so sweet. I was a real tomboy and never played with regular dolls, but I loved making paper dolls. Have fun with the hand quilting. I love this stencil!

    Aside from my stick horse, cowgirl boots, fake leather vest and fringed skirt, cowgirl hat and holster with toy guns, I loved me some good old paper dolls, too. Those are adorable.
    That looks like a labor intensive design to quilt, but it will be beautiful!

    Oooh - I'd love to see more photos of the paper doll project once it's complete. What will you be doing with the project when it's finished?
