Doll Quilt Swap

I have been a total slacker lately and have not sewn forever. Well it turns out that I am expecting number 2 and was not prepared for the exhaustion that has set in. Everyone says every pregnancy is different and I know it is true but this exhaustion was a shock to me. Needless to say I didn't have it with my first, I expected the nauseousness, but was not prepared for the lead that has taken permanent residence in my body making me unable to do anything.

This is me apologizing to everyone out there for being late on sewing quilting bee blocks and everything else. I am SOOOOO not the late person and it is a pet peeve of mine so I am so sorry.



I did finish my Doll quilt for the Doll Quilt Swap 6 going on on flickr. Our partners are a secret and mine has not received hers yet in the mail so I can't tell you who it is, but this is what I made. I did all of my favorite things, embroidery, applique, and log cabins. Mushrooms were my inspiration, obviously.



I used Alexander Henry's Starling print for the center of each log cabin, my absolute favorite print.



I embroidered this little mushroom house because it reminded me of the smurfs (loved that show as a kid).



I made the back simple since most people hang their doll quilts on the wall and the front is so busy so it needed a simple back.



We were asked to take a picture of ourselves with the quilt that we receive from our secret partner and I did even though I don't like pictures of myself right now since I have braces, but oh well.



Here is a better picture of the quilt. It was made by Jennifer who's flickr name is sweetlibertygrace. Her craftsmanship is amazing on this quilt and I love it!

Here is the back of the quilt and the cute label that she made (I edited out our last names) along with some FQ's from the Minny Muu line which are totally gorgeous! Thanks again Jennifer.
