Doll Quilt Swap #8-I'm finished

Doll Quilt #8 Swap, I've finished my doll quilt for the swap, I'm hoping she loves it.  I used fabric designed by Denyse Schmidt from the Hope Valley collection.  I made a dresdan plate "flower" that I raw edge appliqued on,stem and cat are also raw edge applique.  Details include some buttons for flower center and a little cat face with black floss.  I used an Anne bright design for the quilting, peacock feather texture.  I used my accuquilt cutter to cut all applique piences.  I really had fun making this one up

Doll Quilt Swap 7

Oh my gosh, I received my doll quilt swap 7, Thursday in the mail and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I was so surprised, you won't believe it but the night before I received it I had marked it as a fav on flickr. Molly from http://countryhill.blogspot.com/ made this for me, just me, me, me. Molly thank you so much. The colors are perfect, and it is just so adorable, the birds are as cute as can be and the birdhouse...the detail is awesome, the piecing is interesting with the flying geese and everything is perfect right down to the french knot for the birds eye. Molly thank you for your time and thought into putting this little piece of art together, I can't wait to put it up on my wall. This swap has been such a blessing.

Doll Quilt Swap 7

This is my first time participating in the Doll Quil Swap. It has been a lot of fun. I probably started an an unusual way, I started with my quilting pattern, that I fell in love with, Raggedy Anne. Then I received the quilt information on how the doll quilt swap when, and received my secret person's name and blog. I have to tell you when I went to her blog, I was so excited because I think she will like what I have in mind to do. Went to ebay and bid on vintage Raggedy Anne fabric and this is what I bought and fussy cut it. Then a trip to my local quilt store to pick up some various reds/blue. I browsed thru some doll quilt books and came of with this traditional mini 9 patch design. It is a very traditional looking quilt, but I think it suits the fabric. I could just imagine some little girl playing with this quilt. I'm hoping my partner with be happy with it. I still need to label it and then I'm ready to ship it. I have collected some Raggedy Anne items in the past and the story behind the doll has touched me.

I think I will use this as this week's personal Doll Quilt Challenge also, you can read about those in my previous posts. Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog.
