But I have started. Actually, I have over half of the things I wanted to make finished. Sorry, I can't show those yet because the recipients will see. ;-)

But I can show you one of the things I have been working on for my DGD.

18" doll clothes. :-)

These still need snaps and a few things, but~

That is 3 long ruffled skirts made from 3 different FQs. I have since made a few more tops.
I am just tickled at how well they have turned out. My friend sent me a book she found in a thrift store with the patterns for the clothes, as for the undies~

(aren't they just a hoot?!)

The pattern was from an on-line designer who buys underwear and takes the elastic off to use in her doll clothes and cuts the undies from the larger pairs. I thought it was super clever! If you want to know her name or link let me know, I don't have the info handy right now. Or if you would like the name of the book. ;-)

I have a few more outfits I would like to make. I sent a Halloween outfit and forgot to take a pic. Oops. I have some fabric for a party dress yet. It is so funny~ I was dreading sewing the clothes and have discovered I love it! LOL

Have a great weekend!

Time~~

Flies!!

Yes, it does!

And sometimes you just cannot squeeze another minute into your day. BUT~

you try. :-)

I finished quilting my SuperEasy Quilt from @Pineapple Fabrics last month, but getting it bound was just another story. LOL

Remember the super-fun fabrics?

Well here she is all finished!

I quilted it with an edge-to-edge holly leave pattern.

I also did my layout a little different than the pattern. ;-)

I love the effect of the black stripes!

When it was finished, I had a small pile of cut off corners to play with and I made a small table mat to put on hubby's table next to his chair. :-)

I think it is really festive!

Can you believe 2 Christmas projects finished in October?!!

I am usually the last minute type, but have been trying to change that!~

can I display it in October? LOL No! We have Halloween coming soon!

Hope you are having a great autumn,

More soon!

Did Someone Say Fat Quarters?

Do you belong to a FQ Club?

Subscribe to a 'subscription box'?

I have looked at a lot of them, but usually the shipping makes them a little too pricey for me.

Here is a new one I know I would enjoy~

FQ Club

I received the October FQs and love them!~

They are great stash additions and 2 are already slated for a project! :-)
