Things I've been working on Nov & Dec

 It's been awhile since I've written anything.  I'm going to try to do better in 2013.

I have been doing a fair amount of sewing but many of the items I couldn't show on my blog because they were gifts.

So here goes.  The quilt Bee I belong to "The River Queen Bees" made the center pieces for our quilt guild Christmas luncheon.  We began in July/August and finished them at our November meeting.   They looked really nice on the tables and were given away to one guild member at each table.  We made a total of 17 dolls, 12 for the guild and one for each of us.  The pattern for the dolls is by Magic Threads,  "Oh Tannenbaum".  If you want to see more of her patterns click on this link Magic Threads.

I made a baby quilt for a special little boy born in November.



Peter and big sister Tessa.

I saw these Dammit dolls at a craft show and had to make one for our daughter and her friend.  Both teach high school math as well as being mothers, wives and all the responsibilities that go along with it.

They both loved them.  It is a "doll" of sorts that you smash against something (not living) to get your frustration out.



I will continue on to another post as I am now having a problem placing my pictures where I want them.

Sew see you later,

Bette
