Sew along

Do you ever see a cute sew along and you simply must join in?
This one from the Fatquarter shop was irresistibly to me!
As if that was cute enough Sondra has figure out all the math for
the sew along group to make minis of the same blocks!
There is a "snapshot quilt along" group on Facebook too :0)
Come on you know you want to make'em.
Happy Sewing, Kim

Happy New Year

I don't often get to spend time with both of my kids at the same time but I did this New Years Day and it sure made it extra special.  The three of us have January birthdays too so we celebrated that as well.
Happy New Year to you!

Both doll quilts done :0)

Both doll quilts are done to take to my granddaughter.

One is from Lori's sew along and the other is a simple postage stamp quilt, both made from 1.5 inch squares that finish
at 1 inch in the quilt.  The pillow and case are from a pattern on Amanda Jeans blog with an inch added to all measurements for the larger dolls.  I am linking up over at Amanda Jean's blog to show these cute quilts.
