Three Amish Dolls

The doll on the first picture is not made by me, it is a present that my son brought me from Shipshewana.

On the other pictures, the two dolls are done by myself and already shown in previous posts, but I enjoyed taking pictures of the "mother and daughter" together in the garden with lavenders.

Breakfast time is my best time of the day. I love to wake up early in the morning, and to sit down in the garden, in my favorite corner, on the kitchen side. There it is very quite, you hear nothing except the birds. Everybody sleeps. It's 7 o'clock and I have the whole day in front of me. I enjoy a very strong black tea (Yorkshire Gold brand) with breads and marmelade. Having my second cup of tea, sewing can start, for about one hour.

It's such a happy moment and I feel blessed to be able to enjoy the lovely view, the fresh wind and the quietness. 

Enjoy your breakfast!

Flower Garden Second Part

Summer time is Flower Garden time! I took the boxes of this project from the shelf to see what it is about...

Ok, first thing : I am rather pleased to find a quite good organization!

Second thing : not very pleased to see that I did not progress so well! Little by little as it goes, it seems another 10 years will be necessary to finish this quilt, especially that I intended to make it Queen size and have it handquilted... I may review this point... maybe a single bed quilt will be alright!

Well, let's not be discouraged and let's start : I have first to cut 216 paper hexies and 216 muslin hexies, then baste and piece them around the 12 unfinished blocks. When this will be finished, I will have done a great step forward!

Enjoy your quilting!
