............................A mini gift............

I recently joined a dollhouse club.....

We are having a holiday party and gift grab this week.....

This is what I made for the gift.....
I made the table and most of the things on it.....
I bought the wine bottle, glass, the bread, and I had the little wooden button
that the fruit is laying on.....

This is so much fun! I can't wait to see who gets it!

'Til next time, Love ya, Jean

...............................More Quilts........

These are the latest baby quilts that I sewed......
I folded up the corners to show the backing of the quilts..... These little quilts go to Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The materials are provided by Wayside Sewing, Marlboro, MA. They make up the kits for the quilts and many of the women who go to that store, sew them together.

We are at 350 quilts so far, and our goal is to make and donate 500 by the end of the year.

They are 24-32" square......

I have used many of my own materials from my stash to make about half of the ones that I have sewed. My personal count is 54, since June.

I love to sew and I feel this is a very good cause, and I'm happy to be able to do my part.

I love all the bright colors and the designs.

I hope these little quilts will brighten the lives of the parents of these tiny, little babies.

....................................Lace..........................

It's a known fact........... I love lace!

It is so beautiful! So feminine, there are a million beautiful designs and it makes such wonderful light patterns! It adds a nice romantic touch to any decor!

Do you have lace around your home?
