So Friday night out it came and I quilted away. Can't see much quilting? That's because I quilted with perle cotton for two hours then spent half an hour pulling it all out because it just didn't look right on this quilt. I started quilting in the ditch with red thread and I like it, so that's what I will do.
These absolutely gorgeous printable paper dolls are shared HERE at Babble. There nine more sets of dollies shared too. I loved playing with paper dolls when I was a little girl and thought maybe someone in you life might enjoy this simple fun too. They would also look super cute framed on a little girl's bedroom wall.

ReplyDeleteI love that mini!!! Pity about the quilting but best to unpick it and redo rather than persevere and hate it.
ReplyDeleteStunning, simply stunning!!!!! I love this piece but all of your work is fantastic. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fabrics in your bowls! Tearing out is never fun. I remember paper dolls......I used to cut them out for hours....do you remember Barbie paper dolls!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame about all the unpicking Melody - but glad you are happier with it now...
ReplyDeleteI still have my paper dolls from the late 70s, and also the ones my girls had in the late 90s... so many hours of great play & imagination... great link
Thanks for the Paper Dolls link, we had them when we were children as well. Your stitchery is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat is super gorgeous Melody! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI just love your bowl stack. Looks like lots of pieces! So sad about your first lot of quilting but it has to be right after spending so much time and effort on the paper piecing and stitching. I used to love playing with my paper dolls when I was little. The ones you have found look so detailed and pretty. Thanks for the link. Thanks for your nice comment on my blog. I still can't leave a reply for you in google plus. The star is looking pretty good. This minute stars are my favourite thing. It seems I have more time for cooking but I will definitely have to make time to walk it all off too.

Better to unpick it and be happy otherwise you would never be happy with it. This is such a lovely project.
