Pants are finished!

Good News! The pattern worked!



Here is the sweater Linda knitted.


The finished outfit!


OH MY HECK!
You have done it again!
Isn't this the cutest ever!
I am so glad you made this doll..... she looks great in everything!
Love you

Just a few items of interest!

This is the first quilt project I ever did. Alyce helped me with it many years ago on a Thanksgiving day we shared at her house. Mom was there also. We cut, and sewed in between eating turkey and pumpkin pie. I found it hidden away and had to hang it on my wall. It reminds me of that day and of my dear sister Alyce and what a talented wonderful sister she is! Priceless, cherished memories of that day and many others with my sweet sister!
I have never seen this before..... where have you been keepin it hiden?  I love it.
You two are so talented. peg


Ok, I remember this, but I don't remember where I was living.   Was I in Wyoming?  Oh, Memories!   LOL,   alyce


This is the beginning of my newest quilt I just started. I learned this technique at our quilt retreat last week, and made these blocks this morning. I am liking it alot, and it goes quite fast! Thanks to other great women in my life!

OH MY!!!   This is my FAVORITE QUILT!   I love it and want to make one.   I need to visit Idaho and have you teach me how to sew it together.  9 blocks sewn in just one morning?   Do you have any free time one day next week?   I'm thinking about visiting you and mom.   Let me know if a day works better for you than another.   Alyce


This quilt top is one I did at the quilt retreat. Full size. Ready to be quilted. I will put this on my bed when it is completed. I loved the scalloped edges, and was something new I haven't ever done.


So I decided it was time to start sewing some doll clothes again, so I designed this pair of coveralls. It fits the doll but is a little snug and would be hard for a child to put on the doll so....
you can see I've cut out a second pair......

It's not uncommon to sometimes make an outfit 2 or 3 times before getting the pattern just right when creating something original. Wish me luck that this one is perfect!
Here's hoping your day is absolutely PERFECT!!


and see, this is the reason your creations are perfect when completed!  I really enjoy
watching your path of creativity!

Sarah Jean

Trim is completed and a bow in her hair.

Maybe I will have to make her a sister.
(after shoes.)

She is beautiful (as Tim Burton dolls go). Very unique and amazing that she can be posed so well. Did you ever think you'd be so good at this a year ago? Linda

One year ago,,, I never even thought about making dolls. Let alone making them by the 100's!

do you think I have made 150 yet?  I am thinking it is pretty close now.

Did you think you'd be this good 5 months ago?   Crazy.   I think she is your best - very clever. 
I love her folded arms and I love her socks and shoes.   Her hair is perfect  - Alyce





All but the trim


And Shoes

I have discovered while making this dress...
I don't like ruffles!

Try Tule ruffles!!!! Yuck! Ruth

Just the skirt Morgan

Well? I'll tell ya I like her
with and without.
Just a very cute outfit
Very cute. I like her without the pants. You can see the shoes better. I'll call in a minute. Doug is on a bishop phone call. Linda

Pleased to introduce Morgan





Our newest
BEDLAMITE!
Made the same way except for her face
but what a difference in the finished presentation....
Any feedback would be wonderful....

I really like her! Totally different but yet kind of the same style. A lot more "personality" to the doll. What do you think, Peg? Linda

WAY TO GO MANDY


Amy and the sheep

A beautiful spring day and Amy and I went outside to
feed the sheep.
She sat in the grass and watched while I fed the flock


                                                                          They ran and hid,


until they realized I had the feed!





then, we went in the house and
she played the piano.

(she doesn't play very well!)
LOL
I am certain having no fingers makes a difference!
