I borrowed the applique motif from Anni Downs Christmas Story book.
There was quite a bit of fabric left over so I made her a matching quilt .....
and this little Matryoshka Angel (yes, I know it looks more like a bee ... I think it's the eyes!) from Rosalie Quinlan's book Gift.
I'm a little sad that I haven't heard from my swap partner and just hope they arrived safely.
Did you notice the pretty basket logo in my sidebar. While surfing the net last night I came across this gorgeous new free BOM from Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs. I love her designs and think I'll have a go at this one.
We are rather spoilt for choice in blogland at the moment as Gail Pan is also giving us a free BOM this year. It will go for 9 months and Gail says that by September we will have a new quilt nearly finished for Christmas. Sounds good.

ReplyDeleteso sorry you haven't heard from your swap partner....that's a bit of a worry.
anyway, your little doll is gorgeous!
take care,
julie

You made some wonderful gifts, I especially like the doll. I'm sure you made your swap partner very happy and I hope you hear from her soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog you have and I found your doll gorgeous, I will come here more often.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects! You are so funny, I guess it must be the eyes. Thanks for the link for Gail's stitchery!
ReplyDeleteI do hope they arrive safely, the doll is darling.
ReplyDeleteYour gifts are so wonderful. I hope your swap partner acknowledges them. Half the fun of sending them is anticipating the wonderful response! You did not let me down I know.
ReplyDeleteSorry you have not heard from your swap partner because those gifts are relly lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have started on Gail new BOM today and have also printed Bunny Hill BOM to start with now. Had to have two new projects as medicine for the flu.
Those SSCS gifts are wonderful -- I hope your swap partner receives them soon and lets you know they arrived safely. I can't imagine anyone being anything but thrilled with those. They're fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful and I really hope your partner takes time to thank you for all the work you put into them.
ReplyDeleteThese gifts are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI love your doll!! ( and your cat..)
Hi Christtine I just love the gifts you sent for the SSCS........beautiful..........

ReplyDeleteYou made some wonderful gifts, I especially love the doll.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to hear they arrived safely...That's part of the fun.

Yes THANKS to Kathy I am doing Gails as well.... I thought I would make all the blocks so all I have to do is the stitchieres - good idea?
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame you have not heard from your partner : (
They are just stunning, and I know how much work went into just the Matryoshka doll, as I made 27 of them this christmas....
ReplyDeleteI too have yet to hear from my sscs swap partner,...it is a bit sad...
Hugs, we love your work.
Lovely work to be giving away, I hope you get your paecel soon, the Christmas Rush should be over.
ReplyDeleteThe gifts you created are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love your mini quilt. I've had fun making a few this week too.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautifully made...Hope they arrive ok...
ReplyDeleteI just looked at Bunny Hill and Gail's BOM. I'm definitely in on these. I know how you feel about not hearing. I have not heard from my swap partner in a Christmas ornament swap. I've even emailed her and nothing. Hope all is okay.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteYour dolly is really cute and the little quilt is just whimsy..I like your gifts very much and wish you were my SSCS partner next year (LOL)jajaja
Seems that we have both found these lovely free BOMs at Bunny Hill and Gail. Can´t avoid trying...and with the winter wonderland stuff..wow, too much for this year!!
Hugs from Spain.
Wow,
