Finish It Up Friday ~ Doll Quilt

My little doll quilt is done and I love how it looks with this pretty little toy sewing machine.

I quilted this with a walking foot on my domestic machine. I’m not thrilled with how that turned out, but it will do. The original antique inspiration quilt was machine quilted also.

You can see why on the back. Those darn puckers!

The backing and binding fabrics are reproductions, but all the scraps used in the top are vintage.

Ta daaa! It finished at 12 by 16 inches.

And here is the inspiration quilt.

Have a great day!

Remember this?

I finally pulled these back out.

I started working on it again.

It is sewn into rows. Time to stitch those rows together.

A Bit of Sewing

My four patch is ready to quilt. I just need to figure out what I want to do.

And I have the third clue for the Quiltville mystery done. The fourth clue came out last Friday.

Have a great day!

Slow Stitching

I finished piecing my doll quilt and basted it. I thought I’d hand quilt it, but then I came to my senses.

Today I will get the binding done.

Have a great day

This and That

I recently learned of this book and treated myself to a copy.

It is a great read if you are interested in dating fabrics.

Another puzzle finish.

There is a lot of truth in this:

So true!

Mister made this and it was so yummy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ NOT

No finishes to share today. I’ve had a rather unproductive week in the sewing room. But in a crazed fit, I grabbed this bin of vintage scraps.

I decided to make my version of a vintage doll quilt I saw online.

Did I finish? No, I did not. Could I have finished? Certainly. It wasn’t a time issue, I just was unmotivated.

So this is real life. Have a great weekend!

Leaders/Enders

I haven’t put a lot of thought into this leader/ender project. I just grabbed this bin of 2 1/2 inch squares and some plain white squares.

Just pairing them up and stitching print squares to white squares.

Who knows where this will end up?

Have a great day
