Fairy, Flower and Blossom

In a land far far away, well really it was across the ditch, in the land of the long white cloud where Kiwi's roam, three little dollies were hiding,  Fairy, Flower and Blossom were trying to hide their Kaffey goodness.

In their attempts to hide, Fairy, Flower and Blossom were startled by three little girls with very loud voices.  They fell from their carefully selected hiding place (what little girl would put their hand in a bougainvillia!).  Their cover was blown!

A feeble attempt at obtaining another cover was tried......the paper doll disguise was not the success that Blossom thought it would be.

Fairy tired to convince the others to run from the loud little girls. Blossom and Flower knew that the gig was up. Surrender was the only option....

Flower found that being help captive had its up and downs, being used as a pillow was not nearly as bad as......

Being given to this monster, saliva baths! nuff said.

Small things week

Have you been on the receiving end of a conversation that goes something like this? " Do you think you could make me a quilt?"
That was from my DGD #1, 9 1/2 years old at the end of last year. Well of course I can and I say what sort of quilt would you like? Fairies and Pink! Here's the block, simple, easy to piece with no matching seams and will look good machine quilted. Same as the yo yo blocks you notice but bigger. I'll let you know how I go.

This week is going to be a small projects week I think. I will be making Mrs Perkins with Lurline and Joy, we'll be cheering each other on to get it done. So first step is to get out some supplies.

Auditioning fabric, check.

Pattern, buttons. thread and felt, check
Tools, gadgets and lots of stuffing, check.

And when there are two little GD's you can't just make one now can you? I'm glad I'm not the grandmother of those octuplets!!

Small stuff

What can I show you? Well nothing that I'm doing at the moment because I've been working the Christmas stuff still. I have been finding some time for hand quilting though.
Sometimes I just have to make small things, they don't take a huge investment of time and I feel I can achieve something. Some I've made this year....

I made the rabbit pincushions after seeing them at Thimbleanna I made the pattern up, I hope she doesn't mind that she inspired me. I had a ball making these Raggedy Annies from a pattern I got from Nicole
All but two were adopted out. They smell like coffee and vanilla since that's what was used for the parts to age them. Back to the Christmas projects.

Anne Ida at Quiltoholic has given me an award! Thank you Anne Ida.

I'm supposed to pass this on to 5 people. EEk! Ok instead of doing that and passing it on, and because I'm so new to blogging and would have trouble choosing... I'll give this award to all you bloggers who take the time to read my posts and take the trouble to let me know through your wonderful comments. You are all so supportive and inspiring!
