My New Little Doll Quilt!

Cathy (blog is here) sent this little civil war quilt to me last week, and today is my birthday, so I am treating it as a birthday present!  Isn't is lovely?

I had seen somewhere on the internet, the idea of using a magnetic towel rack to hang something on a metal door, and this quilt fit the little towel rack perfectly.  It is hanging inside the door, so everyone can see it in my front entry hall.  It's the perfect spot for it, and it looks like it's been there forever.

Cathy's blog has a picture of a beautiful trillium as her header, and trillium are my favorite flowers in the spring.  

Here is a small bouquet from my garden.  They are so delicate, and start out white, then turn pale pink as they start to fade.  

Besides the doll quilt, Cathy sent me a little bag, with a zipper, with a safety pin motif from the fabric on the little zipper tab.  So cute!  I'm just learning to hand quilt, and I'm putting all my hand quilting supplies in this little case.

Also, a third gift!  A little pin cushion.  It is with my other small doll pillows, on the doll chest of drawers in the front hallway, and I smile every time I walk past it.  Such a cheerful addition to my little pillow grouping, don't you think?

It's the brightly colored one in the front!  I love it!  Thank you Cathy, for such lovely birthday presents!   I'm 71 today, and feel my life just gets better and better with every passing year.  I am blessed!
