This cute little dolls quilt has been a short WIP. It was finished while my computer was offline, but I was also holding off revealing it, as it was intended as a gift for a friend who follows my blog.
I amended the pattern (original was on point) Shoofly Potpie by Kim Diehl from her book Simple Traditions.
You cannot see the border quilting very well, but I machine quilted a cable pattern. It was fairly easy using my walking foot, but my marking pen was hard to see on the beige fabric. The ideal marking pen is out there and one day I am going to find it!
This larger mini quilt is from Lori DeJarnatt's quilt along, Country Roads, so a few stencils later and I found one that fitted this quilt that I could achieve on the machine! I do really need to start hand quilting the little quilts...but I am a machine girl : )
Didn't take long, just the right frame of mind to get stuck into it.
Happy quilting, Sue
They are both adorable. It is hard to show quilting in photos but I know how great they feel. Lucky friend!
