My Quilt Block Challenge...

I was in Joann's last night and this Quilt Block of the Month program caught my eye. I have always wanted to do a pieced quilt, but hated the idea of all the cutting. This seemed like a great solution, I liked the pattern, the colors and especially the idea that it was all precut. All I have to do is piece it all together one block at a time. I like challenges and this being done one block a month is right up my alley. I bought the first block set which actually is putting together 4 blocks for the month. I am starting 4 months into the year so I will need to do more 3 more block sets this month to get caught up in order to finish it by December.

This is what it will look like (hopefully) when I finished.

First Block set.

All the pieces to the block.

The center piece to the block.

First finished block, just 3 more just like this to go for the first block set. I have been sewing for over 30 years and I will tell you that putting this together is not as easy as it would seem. You have to be totally accurate. 1/4" seams and piecing the rows together the seams must match up perfectly or it will look funny. I have  a new found respect for the avid quilter, piecing and sewing perfect rows!

Puppy Update Week # 2...

TWO WEEKS OLD TODAY!!!

Miss Izzie being the perfect mommy!

Such sweet mellow babies. They just love to cuddle. This is a little boy that I'm spending time with this morning.

Miss Izzie just chilling with her babes.

I would call this shot "Punch (milk) Drunk"

Are you jealous yet?

Look at that milk belly?

So brilliant they are already getting their little black pigment and only a week old!

They have doubled their size in less than a week. It may be because their mommy is an open wet bar!

Vintage Baby Goodies...

I love dolls, and vintage baby items! I made this doll for myself. She had to have the perfect dress for my bedroom. My girlfriend and I went Antiquing recently and I found this vintage Feldman Bros. dress and slip. I grabbed it and ran to the cashier. It fits perfectly on my little sweetie. I am so impressed with all the detail work involved in this dress.

Here you can see the detail of the butterflies embroidered on the bottom.

Here you can see the delicate pleating involved.

The under slip is almost like a sleeveless dress in itself. It was made by Feltman Bros. in the Philippines who are famous for the their Baptiste needle work. It's such a delicate cotton. I just love it, and it fits Miss Libby perfectly.

Here is another one of my vintage baby items I purchased off of Ebay a few years ago. It's the perfect vintage baby scale.
