Nine Patch doll quilt: completed

This cute pattern is by Kathleen Tracy of: Country Lane Quilts, titled Nine Patch Doll Quilt from April 2012. This is actually the 2nd little quilt that I have made from this pattern. I've seen some really cute antique doll cradles displaying reproduction or antique doll quilts. They are so cute! Hoping someday to own one myself.

Happy 14th Blogoversary!

Wow, today is this blog's 14th blogoversary. Heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you followers. I've connected with so many quilters, stitchers and crafters. There is always something new to enjoy. You all amaze me with all of your creativity and kindness. I have also learned a lot about quilting, an adventure that I did not begin until around 2013-2014. Thank you so much! This post makes a total of 991 for my blog. The future looks nothing but bright for the coming years of blogging.

Something Wicked Blog Hop: Gourdon

Meet Gourdon. He is all ready for Halloween and Autumn with his gourd head and cute attire. He is my project for the Something Wicked Blog Hop, hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt. Do you think that he is OK to sit out in the room any time of the year? His face is hand-painted {a skill that I am still trying to improve at}. The entire doll is coffee-stained. Gourdon is actually the 6th doll that I have made from a Sanker Studios pattern. Do you ever make any dolls? This is my 990th blog post- getting close to that 1,000 mark! Thank you all who visit/comment and/or follow. You truly make me smile. Please continue reading for comments, and for a full list of all of the blog hoppers.
