IS THERE A DOLL IN YOUR FUTURE?

When I stopped in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop last Thursday the Doll Bee was in session.  Naturally I had to take some pictures.  Above is the darling doll that Shirley S. is making.  I may be wrong, but I think call this a Hitty doll.
Barb V. shows us her work in process.  I’m a doll person and go crazy when I see these.
This is Shirley working on her doll.  You can read more about the Doll Bee by going to Julie’s blog.  There is also a link on the sidebar.

ANOTHER NOTE:
  • Did you go check out the Row By Row Shop Hop website?  This is a must for anyone traveling this summer.  You won’t want to miss it.   
  • The Selvage Blog has a tutorial for an Asterisk Quilt.  You do not need to use selvages for this block.
Until next time,

Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!
