Nancy, Not all of my work is my design. I just finished this one today.
I fell in love with this gal's work http://www.fromthebluechair.com/2012...challenge.html. Well, I just had to have one for myself. So, yes, I swiped her pattern.
Well not totally, since she had taken the New York Beauty block from Donna Duquette to create a color wheel. But I'll give her all credit here on the QB for designing a pretty color wheel. My center isn't exactly the same as hers, and my binding is typical of me, a decorative stitching. This was my first in using circles or curves. I found using the treadle extremely helpful for attaching the curve pieces. Paper piecing was done on a Singer 201, straight stitch quilting 201 and Davis NVF, and binding on Singer 224.

Once again, not a quilt, but the first project from Katherine, my 301! This is Victorianna... I got the pattern at one of the thrift stores for 50 cents, and will be making her a dress from patterns that I got at the same time that were designed for her.....one is a Grandmother's Fan dress, the other is a Dresden Plate dress....

Wow, Monica, love your color wheel. What really makes it pop is your use of black and your quilting, well... and your binding and... it's great!
Charlee, I love Victorianna. She sooo curvatious! So it seems you and Katherine are getting along just fine. Don't ya love the 301?

Thanks! The face is part of the pattern, I traced and embroidered it. Her hair is a fine sport yarn. I can honestly say that I don't think I will EVER make another one of these dolls!! 
What a LOT of work she was!
Linda, I LOVE this 301! Of course, I love all of my machines, but have to say that the 301 is everything that it's been said to be. Don't know why I waited so long to look for one, but I'm glad that it's finally in my herd!
