TOO BUSY TO BLOG!

I have been too busy to blog lately, but decided to take a few minutes to post some pictures today.  We will be participating in the Federal Employee's Association craft show in Dallas, TX this week on Oct. 6 & 7, so I have been sewing like a mad woman.

I made this little quilt for the little doll bed thinking I would sell both at the craft show, but my sister convinced me to keep the little bed for the antique doll that I posted about on September 22.
 As you can see, the doll bed is perfect for the 10" doll.
We don't know anything about the doll other than that it was in my Mom's closet for about 50 years.   I'm sure some (if not all) of you probably think I'm nuts to have dolls in doll beds in my home.  DH just rolls his eyes.
Below is a baby quilt that I made for the craft show.  I have never had any baby quilts at any craft shows before, but have had a few people asking about them, so I thought I would make a few and see what happens.

 It is a Chinese coin pattern and I use a charm pack to make the rows of coins.
I better get to work - only two more days to get everything ready!

    The baby quilt is really sweet. The dolly quilt is cute, too. And just roll your eyes back at the hubby...I don't think any of our husbands truly understand us, it's the tolerance that's important!

    I know two or three quilt friends that have doll beds or cradles in their homes decorated with a doll or two and of course, quilts. I think it's perfect. We never outgrow our desire to nurture. Some people dote on their pets. :)

    ...I just love doll beds and lill' quilts...and that 'antique' doll looks like German 'Hilda"...
    If it's original it could be more than 50 years old...... worth finding out...
