Actually, I haven't been hibernating I just haven't blogged much. I'm working on those PIFs, I have until April, here's a sneak peak of what I will be using for them............
When they have been received by my PIF friends I will share photos and the pattern!
I have also been having a little fun with some batiks.........
I told my niece at Christmas time I would make her a quilt for her new doll crib, so I decided to make a matching one for her too! This pattern is quick and easy to make, here are a few photos I took as I made it.............................
The 2 1/2 inch strips.
In the above photo I am "squaring up" the edge, below I am cutting each strip pair into the appropriate sections.
Below are all the cut pairs ready to be made into the quilt.
The finished products.............
This one looks more like a table runner, but I made it according to the size of the doll crib. The doll quilt is completely finished, I still need to quilt the larger one.
With the temperatures expected to be in the 40s today I am "pretending" it is Spring............
Just ignore the "white" stuff in the background, LOL! We have had an extremely mild Winter, I hope that we don't pay for it in the Spring!
Have a great day!

Hi Lisa,
DeleteI haven't commented much on blogs either, but you have been in my thoughts and prayers. The chickens are doing well, on average between the 6 hens I get 4 eggs a day, some days more. One of them is currently molting so she's taking some "time off" until she's done!
Thanks for your kind comments on my quilting, I'm sure you are just as talented!
Blessings,
Denise
You're working on PIFs...that's kind of exciting! April will be here before we know it! Love the quilt too! I have a bunch of batik strips and I'm thinking this would be a great way to use them up! :0)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine did this same quilt using a lighter color for the background......I used stuff from my stash that's why I have the darker blue which I think still looks great.
DeleteSoon you will be receiving your PIF!
Blessings,
Denise
