Happy 6th of July everyone!
The 4th was pretty quiet around my house, but we did have some excitement the day before. Hubby got a hole in one on the golf course! We have been celebrating his celebrity status ever since. Pretty good for an 84 year old!
I finished the America 250 doll quilt in time for the fourth. It measures 12” by 16”.
Here is a picture of it beside the copy I made of the original crib quilt. My crib quilt measures 38” by 45”. I blogged about making the crib quilt (Here)
If possible, I make a small quilt version to match every quilt I make. In this case the quilt I made in 2016 was a replica of an 1862 crib quilt. The original quilt sold at auction at Sotheby’s for $5,938 and measures 32.25” by 38.25”.
The cross stitch Jane Stickle doll quilt is progressing - but slowly this week.
There are only 3 more blocks stitched this past week. Some blocks take me more time than others to cross stitch, but I am nearing the finish line. I like cross stitching. There are only 8 more square blocks and 15 more triangles to make.
The design wall: The Jane Austen coverlet replica has 2 more rows of blocks with sashing between them:
Thank you to all of you for participating in our Design Wall Monday Linky Party. I love looking at your pictures and reading your blogs. I am so grateful that you share your progress with us. You are a blessing!
