I was so excited about signing up for Doll Quilt Swap 7 after seeing so many gorgeous Doll Quilts on other peoples blogs. I was a bit delayed with my progress due to an accident with a pair of scissors… My middle finger on my left hand is now healing up – no stitches needed, just some steri-strips and a tetanus needle (which hurt more than my finger!). I was inspired by this quilt made by Ros's Mum. This is where I am up to, I should have it finished and posted off to its new home on Wednesday. Each block is 6 inches, and the finished size should be 18 inches square.
BTW - Mrs K had a bouncing baby boy named Koby, Rachel was so excited to tell me when I picked her up from school last week. She is looking forward to having a cuddle with him when Mrs K comes to school for a visit.
I found this delightful and different craft book at the library last week.
With Love

hey there Janelly! Sorry to hear about your finger...OUCH!
Your DQS is looking great, love the colours :)
Oh Janelle i can sympathise, i too am having finger problems (that sounds awful)and haven't been able to do much sewing at all. Your quilt looks gorgeous and i cant believe that there is such a thing as a Jane Austen craft book.

Oh Yes... a Mr Darcy fan here as well...
Your quilt is lovely! I always worry about cutting myself, but so far I haven't. Actually, the rotary cutter is the one that really scares me because sometimes I am a bit reckless!
That book looks too neat! I am going to have to look for it at our library:)
