Rag Doll
Man! I’m so excited right now! I just got the info on my Doll Quilt Swap partner. Its a secret and she can’t know that I’m making a quilt for her so…shhhhhh.
I’m looking at this, and this, and maybe a bit of this for inspiration. I’m on my way out to the garage to flip through my fabrics and start putting a design together. I am physically tingling with itchiness to get started on this project !! Wheeeeeeee.
Check here for updates
In other news I have finished the bodies of 4 Merbs for my BIL and will be starting the 5th tonight. Then I just have to give them all faces and hair. I should be done by the end of next week – I’ll have finished pics soon, but here are some shots of the unmade materials piles.

I was going to say “OOooo” toooo, but that has been taken. I’ll just say, “Wow.” I grew up with all of those books, so special, so many wonderful memories of being read to. I agree, they are great inspiration. I can’t wait to see what you do. It will be such fun and I know that whatever you choose to execute, will be just perfect, all warm and fuzzy (I’m sorry, I just can’t help but use that phrase)and adorable…and I mean that with respect!

Oh! I really love the illustrations in that Etsy shop. It sounds like you will have an adorable quilt with those things for inspiration.

Gee, “oooo” seems to be the universal reaction to your inspiring links. “Maple Hill Farm” is a favorite book of mine, and I am delighted to be reminded of it. Your partner is a lucky one!

Hey there. I have a question. I know this is different than Blogger, but how do you format your photos here? For instance, I like how in your school bus post you had three thumbnails side by side. Would you happen to know how I could do something similar on my blog?
Yours truly,
Technologically inept…
