Happy Friday - Hooray Mary is in the state of NJ!
I thought I'd share couple of little quilts with you. I love to make doll quilts. They are so satisfying to me. Since I was a little girl, I have always loved "small" things. Here is one of Jo Morton's that I saw in a magazine. I even had the border print that she used:
I began hand quilting this one with a free form feather pattern. It quickly became apparent that you could not see the quilting, so I finished it on the machine.Rules - shmules.
Here is the back, I guess my bobbin ran out too, because the thread changes color. This is before I started using novelty prints on the back:

And the back. Aren't these children well behaved?
I'm busy-busy getting ready for a little Halloween Party with my Applique' Group here tonight. I'll share some photos over the weekend.
Raffle Quilt Update: Shar, a friend from the guild and part of my Needlers' group, WON THE BASKET QUILT. Isn't that fabulous! Not only a quilter, but a guild member too.
