    roseOfsharon and I chatted on the phone tonight and opened our packages and what a pretty one is at my house. She hand quilted this little Hopscotch pattern from the Little Quilts ladies in Marietta, GA. Don't you love how she balanced the bright hues all around the quilt? And the posies are icing to the cake! I'm going to have to watch this--my GD's are going to ge using this to wrap their dollies that they play with here! Imagine that!

    Sharon since I've got my pics already taken I'll send this off too. This is the quilt I made for roseOfsharon. It's the first time I've done trapunto and think the bird's a little overstuffed--ready for Thanksgiving!! I used 2 folded triangles in the upper corners so she canslip a dowel into in and hang it.

    Smiling, Gladie, you posted! I took a group of pictures to post and will add a couple more too! I just love Gladie's creation by Kathleen Tracy's book entitled American Doll Quilts. The trapunto in the center is so unique and sets off the artistry of the quilt! I just love it and will be hanging it in my bedroom. Gladie also included the most adorable little squares (4x4) that she has pieced together, I will add to it and create a little quilt (maybe to share or maybe just for me!)

    Thank you again Gladie and I so enjoyed talking with you and opening our pkgs together! You have been a great partner and friend.

    I have been looking back over the pages of doll quilts and I can say this month has been super duper!! I believe that each should get a Blue Ribbon, don't you agree :) I just love this swap!

    Absolutely! So many beautiful and unique creations, where does all this creativity come from?

    I think it's why we quilt--the possibilities are endless. ros's quilt to me is a pattern I had also done several years ago--now faded and ready for the girls to play with. The colors she chose and the placement of the nine patches is way different than mine or the Little Quilt gals; how we chose to quilt and embellish them is different as well. Yet each has their own charm and grace.

    Gladies quilt is beautiful. Exquisitely done. Very nice log cabin blocks, too.
