I’ve been sewin’–just not quiltin’

What have you been up to?

I’ve been stitchin’ – just not quiltin’!  Here are a couple of things I’ve made lately.  I’ve made my granddaughters a couple of dresses out of vintage sheets and I have my miniature quilt about done for our quilt guild for the June auction. 

Take a look and let me know what you think!

… and finally, my miniature quilt.  Her name is “Myrtle in a Mason Jar.”  I’m finishing her head now.  Myrtle sits in a quart canning jar and I put some vintage spools in it to carry the theme.  The beads are from my mother’s necklace; she bought it in 1952.    Myrtle is holding a miniature quilt. 

I wish you could see the richness of the fabrics, but the sun has bleached them out in the pictures – a photographer, I am not!

Do you like Myrtle???  I hope she will be bid on, but if not, I wanna keep her for myself!

  1. GORGEOUS little dresses, and Myrtle is adorable! I have a feeling that M. won't be yours to keep. I see her getting snatched right up at the auction!
