Some Finishing

I did the finishing on a few things yesterday. I like to wait until I have 3 or 4 projects to finish and then do them all at once.

Anyway, my first finish is on these little Comfort Cat Dolls for Pats Comfort Doll Project:



I absolutely love making these! So there will be more. My first one came out to be about 7 inches high and Pat asked for dolls that were 6 inches. I just shortened my pattern a bit and they're the right size now. Can't you just see a whole basket of these little kitties?

The next finish is my little embroidered squirrel:



I made him into a doorhanger for my aunt for her birthday. This design is from my vintage transfer collection.

I also had time to stitch a bit on my Blue Santa Ornament:



All that I have left to do is to add my little kitty and few more little snowflakes and this will be ready to sew together.

Vintage Crochet & Tatted Edgings

This is another of the vintage patterns from my collection. It appears to be a complimentary sheet from The American Thread Company:





It isn't dated, but I'll ballpark it from the 50's.

Santa Ornament

I started stitching on this little project yesterday afternoon:



Yes, I did do a similar ornament last Summer. Anyway, this is what it looks like now:



We'll be going on vacation next week so for now, I'm focusing on small projects. Today, I would like to trace out a few of my vintage transfer designs. Things I can work into crazy quilts at a later date. When we get back, I'll see if Scott can make me a frame for my peacock quilt. I'm itching to start on that!
