Stitch Me Up!~ Friday

Today is my day in the Stitch Me Up Blog Hop and I am so excited to be here! 
If you are new to my blog~ welcome!  And if you are a follower~ thank you so much for coming back!! :-)



Before I show you my project, I would like to thank Jane @ Jane's Fabrics and Quilts for being the hostess behind this swap. She did a fantastic job!

And also, Thank you Mdm Samm for thinking up these fun hops, finding sponsors to delight us and  designers to entertain us. For this hop Mdm Samm found 3 embroidery designers who generously shared their talents and designs with us.  
And Madame Samm herself drew up some designs for us!

We also have a wonderful sponsor in Colonial Needle. ~ thank you!

I chose to embroider one of Madame Samm's designs. When I saw this cute little girl, I immediately thought of 30's fabrics. So I set out stitching and sewing, sewing and quilting. :-)


I loved dressing her up a bit.  And now~
I've got a doll quilt~ all ready for the holidays. :-)



If you are one of my followers, you will see my big reveal! This was how I used the giant ric-rac I made in previous posts~ to bind my little quilt. :-)  It is 3-D on the front and back.
I used a peach colored thread for her face and legs, and I'm afraid it doesn't photograph very well. :-/ She is all there! :-)

Please be sure to visit the other bloggers who are hopping with me today!
