My son just married a wonderful girl with a 5 year old daughter, so I just finished a quilt top for her and am just starting to pin baste it. I found the pattern in Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting Magazine Jan/Feb 2010 called Anna Lena. It's an appliqued quilt with 12 little girl's dresses made out of different fabrics and each individually embellished with buttons, beads and trims. It really turned out well and I can hardly wait to see how she likes it. After having three boys and 4 grandsons, I'm delighted to finally get to add some frills to my sewing and quilting. If I could figure out a way to add a picture of it I would. If anyone knows a way to do so, please tell me.

What a lovely gift to give your new granddaughter! You are a special grandmother!!! :-) I hope you can add a picture. I would love to your quilt.

That is a lovely quilt. I wish I was brave enough to start one like that. Although I have a Family Gathering Tree Quilt that I am going to work on one of these days. I have 60 some pictures for it and have made 58 blocks. The pictures are all in diamond shape. I have to go back and correct some of the names and dates because I made the mistake of sewing through some of them. I have to change out about 4 pictures because they just don't look like the people they are supposed to be.
Will someone teach me to be short and to the point.

I'm making a list of what to have made by NEXT Christmas! I simply won't get them done for this one! Those who would have gotten a quilt are getting tie fleece blankets, others are getting gifts certificates. (Kids will be out of state so will have a quiet Christmas ---- I think)

I JUST LOVE THIS!! I have a 5-yr.-old granddaughter that would love a quilt like this. I made her a quilt for Christmas last year but might try my hand at this one for her birthday in February. I'll try to attach a picture of her quilt for you. You did such a wonderful job on this!! I love the colors too!!
