it is hot outside. but it is making the laundry dry very quickly. i'm back from a weekend away and busy catching up on laundry and putting things away. i did have a couple weekend finishes; my quilt, and this little doll, ellen. she is much sweeter than mary because she has a full head. so i think i'm happy with the doll pattern now and just need to work on some clothes.
i was also inspired for my next quilt project, which is good because i was feeling the 'completion blues' after sewing the last of the binding onto my quilt. i'm very excited because i will be using some bird print fabrics that are so cool. i think i'm going to do a coin quilt pattern and it will be a lap quilt size. i wish i could keep this one but it will be given away as a gift.
and another cool thing about it is that most of the fabrics i already had and i just went to the store to get a few fillers to add to the bunch. yay!
p.s. i'll post pictures of my quilt when it comes out of the laundry :) i'll be getting back to my animal alphabet tonight too, so look for the next letter tonight.
Love the fabrics... can't wait to see the finished product! I think your Ellen is perfect!
