Mariana sent me her doll quilt pattern a few weeks ago and I made one just before the end of the year - the vintage bunny is just the cutest!!!! I know that I'll be making more of these.
The cold weather continues and 'they' have suggested that it will be with us through to the end of January - ugh.
Just now I'm reading this book and it's a fabulous read. It's described as riveting and gruesome, which it is and I will add humorous to that description. This is the first time I've read this author and I'm captivated. This is his first novel (at least with this character) and I cannot imagine how he could improve.
Whilst putting away our Christmas décor I decided it was time to empty my 'orts' - I believe that's what these bits and pieces of thread are called. This collection has been building up since October and was well packed.

The doll quilt is so cute, not surprised you intend making more. I have never read Stuart Macbride, but can't think of anything nicer than curling up with a good book when the weather is bad.
hoooo what a cute quilt !
I wish I still had a doll to play with & offer her such a beautiful piece =)
well done
beautiful fabrics you used, I can recognise some of them you used for my beautiful needle book =)
speaking of books...maybe I will have a good resolution this year..to read books again !
it's a long time now since I've been reading a book....
Happy New Year again sweetie
big hugs

Super cute little quilt. Love the fabrics you used.
Your doll quilt is so cute!!! That's a wonderful idea for using up scraps!
Your doll quilt is lovely! What a good idea to use little fabrics for this! I think I will try it, too :o)
Cute little quilt project. Is it hard for you to throw away "orts?" It is for me sometimes, because I see projects where you can sew these to make a cute fabric for a purse. Learn something all the time....never knew about the word, "orts."
How pretty--I love the quilt's colors, too!!
Hope your bad weather improves--we've had so much cold here, but not a lot of snow... Happy New Year!
Cute and so familiar as I remember making a sleeping bag for my doll shortly after my Mom taught me how to sew with needle and thread. But this one is sooo cute. Are you Canadian blogger?
