EB DQS #3 Received from Lily.

Well today was the opening day for the 3rd Annual EB Quilters Dolls Quilt Swap. I was the lucky girl to receive this stunning beauty from the talented Lily. She has taken all my likes and combined them in one beautiful quilt. I love brights, I love white, I love wonky houses, just perfect!

Here is the house....

A detail of the amazing quilting. The stitches are so perfect!

A butterfly is just flying by.

And the back is as perfect as the front!

Lily was also sweet enough to include a pin cushion made by her, stuffed by her daughter! One of my daughters has claimed it as a new pillow for Barbie's head! I'll let her play with it for a few days and then nick it back for it's real purpose!

Thanks so much Lily, I love my new quilt! It is just lovely. I am very lucky. :)

Day 12 of Blogtoberfest - EBDQS #3.

I have finished the top the EBDQS #3. It is a simple design but graphic and fresh with a twist, whatever that means! I have altered the colours again.

Now to quilt it. I don't know whether to go something fancy. Bit of stipple then a flower?

Or something like Louise did on the beautiful dolls quilt she made me. Wavy straight lines?

Which would you prefer swapee?

Day 7 of Blogtoberfest - Starting the EBDQS#3.

Well it is time I started on my dolls quilt for the 3rd annual EBDQS. I'll admit I have been putting off starting as I haven't been inspired. A little burnt out from the flickr DQS#7 maybe? My partner wants an actual dolls quilt too..... I'd prefer my dolls quilts on the wall to be admired as little fabric masterpieces. Don't you?

I have altered the colours in photoshop, not to give anything away. Although I kinda like the aqua and green combo.
