Dolly Baby

At the family reunion, Brenda brought some fun projects for people to do. One of them was making these cute little comfort dolls. The original pattern didn't have any arms but since I always seem to make things more complicated, I decided to add some. This of course meant that the dress now needed arm holes and they took longer to make. I had all the bodies and the purple dress done before we left. And I just finished up the other two. Little Bird kept coming over to snag them as I was working and trying to take a picture. She snuggled them right up with a look of pure joy.

A Quilt for Little Bird

A couple of months ago, I decided I wanted to make a snuggle quilt for Little Bird to use when she goes to bed or wants to cuddle or needs comfort, etc. I decided to use only fabrics that I already had (some of them might look familiar from previous projects).   I didn't want it too complicated because I wanted to get it done before we took a trip. So I found this pattern and made it a little wider so it would be a square. In the end I made two quilts (so they could take turns being washed). I quilted it with meandering flowers and they are each 45x45 in. Little Bird loves to snuggle up into her blanket when it is time for bed.
