Straight to Business

There is so much to do and so little time...right to the punchline today!

 
Finishes:

Disney Princess Shirt and Skirt

Another Princess Applique for a special little girl!

And a patchwork princess skirt to match.

I hope her mom doesn't mind that I tweaked the shirt from the sample I had on my Facebook page.

A little "bling" goes a long way!  
Her little brother's Mickey Shirt is on the hoop getting it's final touches.  I will try to sneak a picture in later...maybe.....
 

Not So Raggedy Ann

I really can't get enough of her....

If you'd like to get to know her, she had her debut yesterday.

I am so sad that she is all boxed up ready to be shipped out today.

I now have to add her to my "list" for myself.

One little funny!  Mr. Boss called me from out of town to tease me about her.  He asked where I got the doll from?  I told him that I made her.  He said "yes, I know you made the clothes, but didn't someone send the doll to you?"

Now that he knows that I am capable of making dolls, guess what I will be making as gifts for anyone who has little girls that we know?

Yup.

In Progress: 

Retro Flowers QAL

I am UTTERLY excited.  Progress. 

Not just cut, but partway pieced?

Which happened quickly and beautifully thanks to my Sizzix Big Shot ProWestminster!

I was able to cut 12 of each shape at one time.

 

I even had time to sew some curves!

I adore chain pieced pictures so I had to take one. 
Not really pretty, but it makes me happy!

EEEEKKKK!! 
 I just might be back on track soon with everyone else!

No Progress: 

Zoo Animal Quilts for Twins

Twin quilt for nursery

Christmas quilt 

Baby girl quilt kit 

Thank you quilt

Merry, Merry Snowman BOM

Do. Good Stitches Blocks

New Projects:

NONE.  NONE.  NONE.

Thank goodness!

Now I hope that my new project status stays the same after visiting everyone over at Lee's.

Sometimes my fellow quilters are bad influences!

Who wouldn't want to be a Princess?

I know I always have!

But since I can't,  I tried to make a little girl feel like one for her upcoming Disney trip.

Her mom picked the fabric for a simple patchwork skirt.

 I designed the crown applique.

Making sure that this special princess won't be ignored, a little personalization.

And since her mom asked me to do this back in the springtime with no due date other than "before we leave for Disney".  I thought I would throw in an accessory.

A headband with fabric flowers, ribbon, and a felt heart button with a bit of beading. 

And the best part? 

I made a French Seam Tutorial for my sewing friends!  

Be sure to look for it later in the week. 

I promise!  It is already drafted and waiting to be published!!!
