Look at these two! Don't they just spell trouble! Santa brought Grace a Barbie Hot Tub Motorhome. I won't tell you what Daz calls it! Its pretty cool, it folds out to a little room and the fridge and microwave and other cupboards open up. There is a door at the end with a little toilet and on the other side is the hot tub which you pull down and you press a button and it plays a disco tune and lights flash. Just the place where every girl would like to hang out! Can you tell I like playing with it as much as Grace!
But it was missing one thing, a quilt. "Mummy, can you make Barbie a pretty quilt like the one you are making me?" was heard every time Grace walked in the sewing room. So I took one of the small log cabin blocks I am working on and made a little quilt for Barbie. My first finished quilt of the year! I have just left it all set up in the above shot for Grace in the lounge room so when she wakes in the morning and discovers it, she'll think it is Christmas again.
When I was quilting this, it was interesting as I felt
excitied about quilting again. Haven't felt that for awhile. I was looking at the fabric thinking what to do, the possibilities excitied me. Only ended up doing straight echo stitching and sort of a star in the centre but it got me itching for more. Anyway, sleep tight Barbie!
