Victorian Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls

I just finished photographing my latest litter of Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls!  Without further adieu, here they are:

 Enjoy the photos!  I'm going back to stitching on my Snowman Dolls now.

Blue Snowman Doll

I had a wonderful time with Linda, my student yesterday.  I taught her a variety of embroidery stitches including how to work with my Waste Canvas technique as well as basic Silk Ribbon Embroidery stitches.  For lunch,  I made homemade creamy Chicken & Rice soup, homemade rolls and Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies.  YUM!

I had some stitching time last night and finished up on my Blue Crazy Quilt Snowman Doll:

Is he too cute or what!!!  I have 2 more to stitch and then I'll be sewing them together.  Can't wait to see what they look like!

I'll be taking photos of my Christmas Cat Dolls this afternoon so be sure to stop back and see them!

Little Pink Snowman

Here's my little pink snowman doll:

This little one is complete.  As you can see, I added a lot more beadwork and lots of sparkly snowflakes.  My next snowman doll is blue! 

In other news, my Christmas cat dolls are complete!  I'll post photos of those in the next day or so.  And wait until you see what my mom is making!  Christmas Crazy Quilt Pillows!  Lots of crazy quilting to come!!!

For now, I can't wait to sew these snowmen dolls together and see what they look like!  I might crochet little scarves for them.  And I want to do little stocking caps for them if it works out.  Stay tuned!

Pink Crazy Quilt Snowman Doll

I didn't get him finished yesterday.  Was getting things ready for my class tomorrow but I did have some stitching time:

I am going to sit here and stitch for 1 hour before I do anything else today!  Don't you just love pink!  I may have a hard time parting with this one.  I want to get more pink into his little face but I think I can do that with some pink snowflakes.

Crazy Quilt Snowman Dolls

My cat dolls are all sewn up and ready to stuff.  I'll do the stuffing tomorrow and have photos of the finished dolls on Sunday.  I'm teaching a class on Saturday.

For now, I've starting stitching on my Snowman Dolls.  Here's the first:

Do you recognize the little face?  It's the same face I used to use on my snowman cross stitch designs!  These will get little stocking hats with pom pom's.  I think they'll be sweet!  My next one is white and pink!

And speaking of pink, I made a couple of Button Brooches:

The backgrounds are needle felted with a bit of crocheting for texture and added color.  I guess I'm already looking forward to Spring!
