baby with vintage curtain, quilted sign





On my recent visit to my favorite antique mall, I came upon some cute vintage curtains in the bargain section. Even though they are in great shape, I thought about turning part of them into a tote bag like my friend, Jean, did on the quiltedcupcake. blogspot.com. She is a big inspiration for me!
I have been playing around with stencils and created a sign for the laundry room, it just needs some binding and it will be done.
One of my vintage dolls wanted to be my model for the day. I collect old dolls similar to the one that I used to play with as a little girl. I'll show more in future blogs.

The chicken coop is still in progress - but it's so hot outside. I'll craft inside until the heatwave goes away!

Hens and chicks...




I haven't added to this blog for awhile because I've been busy getting my new chicken coop ready. Have you ever seen those neat barns with quilts painted on them? Well, I am going to create a painted quilt square on my new coop! My square will be hens and chicks.
