Zoo Animals Quillow



Last night I finished the Zoo Animals quillow for my customer.  She asked that the pocket be double-sided, so that when the quillow is spread out as a quilt on a bed, an embroidered side will show.  Normally, the 'fancy' side of a quillow pocket only shows when it is turned inside out to make the pocket for the quilt.  It measures 71" x 43".  The pocket is about 18" square.


I finally remembered to keep track of the time I put into a project like this, and was surprised to find it tallied up to 61 ½ hours.  Accordingly, I have adjusted my price -- UP.  My previous customers should be pleased to know they got a really, really good bargain!

Emma's Dolly Quilt

Today I made a doll quilt for Emma, who just turned eight.  Amy gave me the fabric; it was left over from the pinafore and blouse she made for Emma and for her American Girl doll.  The quilt measures 20" x 20".  The little HSTs (half-square triangles) are 1/2" wide.


I also made a tiny prairie skirt for the little jointed Breyer doll that came with the horse set we gave Emma.











And here is the prairie skirt:
