Yup, I'm actually going to try to piece and quilt a prim, dolly quilt! Can you believe it? Yes, I know... I have at least 2 rugs going, a handful of cross stitch pieces started, another handful of needlepunch pieces in various stages, and a half dozen dollies awaiting clothing... but I've been inspired to try this! Thanks to some VERY DEAR friends who have gone above and beyond to teach me the ropes via the web... and who have even been so generous to share some quality fabric scraps. Thanks to all of you! I'm in a joyous, crafty, daze... and enjoying it ever~so~GREATLY!
I spent time this morning gathering fabrics, ironing & starching, and cutting 4" squares (maybe not exactly straight ~ but I tried my hardest!), marking 1/4" seam lines... and reading through email directions. I'm now ready to try my hand at piecing them together.
Wish me Luck!
Smiles,
Betty
