Country Quilts and Dolls

This is my first blog ever. Just tried to key one a little while ago - but my 20 month old turned off the computer.

I'm excited about joining this challenge and hope that I'll be able to meet some of the deadlines.

I'm in a doll making group at our local patchwork shop at Jimboomba and that has helped inspire me to try new projects. Next week I'm trying ribbon embroidery for the first time.

I have some dolls that I'm currently working on so I hope that I'll have some finished items for February.

I also take some sewing classes here in Beaudesert and I've signed up to learn some new techniques this year. I'm hoping to do some more machine applique - mostly to date I've done this by hand.

Should be a great year!!
