I did this by way of rest yesterday. Dresses up the little crib a treat. Sorry the colours aren't very good but strong morning light was on it. I have hand-quilted the pillow. Now I'm a third of the way through the the quilt. I know the pillow has larger patches on it, but I can live with that. Sue in Lancs and Jackie - it's 22 1/2" long and 6" wide. Needs a long skinny doll!!
When I was outside yesterday, I noticed I have a pair of Swallows, and they are to and from the middle stable, where they nest. They put a smile on my face.
Tam & Rosie are arriving later. I need to go out and do a quick shop. Gabby's arriving tomorrow morning and we are going out to Hay for my birthday lunch, to a Tapas bar there.
Another glorious day of sunshine, which is bringing out the leaves on the trees. I love spring.
The quilt sets the crib off perfectly, now you just need a rag doll with long skinny legs. 😀
ReplyDeleteThey are a bit thin on the ground!
DeleteA lovely quilt, sets off the crib so well

Thank you Alison. I really enjoyed making it and thought it looked nice too.
DeleteI bet Rosie is very excited to put her dollies to bed!
ReplyDeleteShhh. She's already seen the blue bird I took a fancy too, and so does she!!
DeleteThe quilt is lovely. The only long thin dolls I can think of are either ragdolls or Barbie/Sindy dolls which aren't very cuddly. We had Iris today and she didn't cost me too much! A pair of shorts, a 2nd hand book, some sweets and 3 caramel doughnuts to take home for Mummies. The weather here is beautiful, so I've washed all the winter coats. Enjoy your birthday lunch out, hope you're not driving so you can have a glass of wine or two. Xx
ReplyDeleteBarbie/Sindy too short! Not cuddly either. Rosie does cuddly :) Hard for you to resist a few little treats for Iris (and mummies). Weather gorgeous here too. I did a bit of weeding on the yard but it will take me all summer I think. Tam has offered to drive so I can have a drink. I am watering my baby blackcurrants daily now as they are lax at putting out growth yet.
DeleteThe colours are lovely. Just right for the crib.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your birthday lunch. x
THank you. Yes, I won't need much at teatime but I'm going to make a chicken pie which will do several meals. I was going to do it tonight but thought Sod It we can have a Tesco curry each instead.
DeleteI love a good Tapas bar, such good food. The quilt and crib are very cute. Have fun with your family
ReplyDeleteWell, happy birthday for today ? Well done on the quilting - and the recovery from the last few days/posts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and pillow. That is just perfect for a skinny rag doll, hope you can find one or make one perhaps.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Very nice work indeed.
ReplyDeleteWe get a couple of nice days....to keep us going on!!
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThe crib looks lovely. We've been finding what's left of my ancient dolls in the attic of late, I could use that crib for them!
Happy Birthday x
