Teaching patchwork and quilting over many years has left me with lots of samples and demonstration pieces. Some are more complete than others and some are step by step “Blue Peter” type part finished samples. There comes a time when all of these part finished samples need to be made into something.
A couple of years ago I made Robyn a bedding set for her dolls cot. I had designed a Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam for a class earlier in the year and thought that one of the samples would make a perfect dolls cot quilt. It was the right size, but for some reason she thought the quilt was too small as it didn’t cover her dolls head. I still can’t quite work out how a child’s mind works as I am too far removed from that age. I think it looked great. I am hoping that at some point her dolls will not need to have their heads covered if they are asleep!
I wonder if Alice will have the same reaction when she opens her Christmas present this year. I also hope she like purple.
Happy Quilting
