Good Morning Quilters!
We have a house guest for the summer, and she moved in yesterday. For over two years we have befriended two international students attending Calvin University here in Grand Rapids. They are Grace, who is from India, and Amy, who is from Bangladesh, and we lovingly call them “extra granddaughters”. Amy was looking for housing for this summer between her junior and senior years of dorm living. We asked her to come and live with us, and also help us a little as we are slowing down in our old age. Amy is going to help me sort through and pare down my quilting supplies.
This week I started a new doll quilt. I couldn’t resist this pattern from the internet. It is from the Temecula Quilt Company and is found (Here)
I was looking for a patriotic quilt to make as we celebrate 250 years of our country, and this one will be fun.
If you remember, I made a crib sized replica of this crib quilt a few years ago, and couldn’t resist making a doll sized one. Here is my start:
Also, I worked more on the Jane Stickle doll quilt #2. It is a relaxing project, and is also reminding me to be more careful with storage/transportion of my quilts.
What is your project or projects this week? Do you have an America 250 project in your thoughts or have you started on one?

How nice, to have Amy with you for the summer. Your 250 project is a great one, great way to memorial the event and a beautiful design.
I stumbled on your site from "My Sewing Room". I am so glad to have found you as I am in the midst of my very first doll quilt! I am looking forward to reading more of your posts. Your 250 project looks like a lot of little work!
Enjoy the summer with your 2 house guests. I'm sure they appreciate having somewhere welcoming to stay between semesters. The 250 project is going to be really pretty with all those little HSTs.
Your new doll quilt is a scrappy delight! It will be great to have a helper (young and energetic!) to sort out your sewing and stitchery supplies. Maybe you'll turn her into a quiltmaker!
It will be nice to have the company and help this summer. Enjoy!
