Hanging Pillow With Doll

You might remember this little hanging pillow that I made last week?  I think it was last week!  Honestly, I can't remember what I did 5 minutes ago so your guess is as good as mine!  LOL!!

Anyway, I sewed it together yesterday and finished it:

I think this is just too cute!  The little doll is re-moveable.  I have some in different colors so I think I'll make a few more come Spring.

In other news, Pat Winter's Winter 2012 issue of Crazy Quilt Gatherings magazine is now available at Magcloud.  The cover photo is gorgeous, isn't it?

Finally for today, Kathy Shaw has posted a tutorial on her blog for Little Finger Pincushions! 

Do hop over and check out Kathy's blog.  Gorgeous eye candy there!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish everyone in Blogland and Stitchville a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend!

No, you're not crazy!  This does say Happy Halloween!  It's a model for my upcoming book!  I finished stitching it this morning.

We'll be heading over to my mom's shortly.  I spent yesterday helping her with preparations (and eating her chocolate chips!)  Mom thinks I help her so much but I really just keep the dogs out of the kitchen and wash up dishes.  I kept asking her if she wanted to put some whipped cream in the Kitchenaid and turn it on high (we did that a few years ago just for fun, then spent an hour cleaning up the mess!) but mom didn't want to do that this year.  Guess you had to be there!

Anyway, have a great holiday weekend everyone!

Cardinal Tree Ornaments

I finished up on this project this morning:

The little porcelain doll comes out of the pocket!  Too cool huh?  I've had this idea rolling around in my head for about 2 years now.  The doll is tiny.  Only about 2 1/2 inches high.  I have some more of those little dolls in other colors.  I'd like to make some more of these, maybe after the holidays.  I just needed some thing a little different to do.  I'll sew this up over the weekend.

Also for today, mom made a pretty little Cardinal Tree Ornament:

I've already added this to my Etsy shop.

Finally for today, I have a starting schedule for my Crazy Quilt Color and Composition Classes:

Lesson 1 - January 1st
Lesson 2 - January 21st

Those are the dates that the first 2 lessons will be released on.  I will add release dates as I set them.
