Bree Anna

Hi!,

Yesterday I made Bree Anna...isn't she cute? I found her in an Australian Patchwork magazine. She was very country style there, so I made some small changes and here she is. She even has her own purse and pearl necklace. It is the first doll I ever made and I must say am very happy with her. She is about 20 inches, and her lower body is filled with sand so that she can stand on her own.


The quilting of a block a day is working quite well. I have some blocks done. I do it when I have time. I don't force myself to do it...it is still a hobby right?

I also have started knitting again. My friend Weronica made a scarf on size 20 pens and looked lovely. So I made that last weekend. I was so hooked that I started another one. This one is being knitted on a round knittingpen. That is a first for me too.

At the moment I am hand applique'ing a small wall hanging with a little lady making tea...as it grows on trees as we all know. I added a small black and white scan..since I don't have a camera ...but I will soon. I am making mine in Ruhbarb and Gingers fabrics from Blackbrid Design. The design is made by Anni Downs from Hatched and patched in australia. One of my favorite designers.



Well Summer has hit Sweden and I am most of the time in the garden..hope you are having a wonderfull summer too!
