It's time for Gifted Gorgeousness again. This is hosted by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. Each month on (around) the 15th, we post about a project that we are stitching which uses anything that has been gifted to us or which we intend to give as a gift. If you'd like to sign up, you can find out more about it, here.
I haven't touched Halloweenies during this past month but I managed to progress some patchwork. As a result I have a finish and a WIP to show.
I finally finished the doll's quilt last week and it is now with its new owner. Her dolls love it, she tells me :)
It was definitely a learning experience on this small quilt as I made a few errors such as making my binding too narrow. Oh well, live and learn.
Over the past couple of years I have received fabric in exchanges with Mouse (Tales of a stitching mouse) and Deb (no blog). I am using them to make a dilly bag (a small bag) for myself. Is there another name for this style of bag? I can only think of dilly bag. Please let me know as I am interested in that type of thing.
I like my mix of red and whites. All being well, it will be finished for the next update.
Lovely patchwork Mary
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the dolls are happy with their new quilt, Mary--it is very pretty in those colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month. The patchwork looks lovely. I don't know what to call the bag but I guess the name comes from the rhyme "Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly"?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish and nice bag in progress!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, your mini quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the dolly quilt, she'll be nice and cosy tucked up in that.
