Getting Started


It is swap week around here! So, here is my progress for the Doll Quilt Swap 10 {hereafter: DSQ10}.  I embroidered the dress from Fig Tree & Co.'s Madeline pattern {which I hope to make for a little girl someday} on a bit of cream fabric {I've added a couple details since finishing, but I am keeping those a secret for now.  I used mostly pinks, reds, and yellows because it goes with this fabric I previously showed you:

Sunny & Sweet


And this fabric I purchased to go with it:

Some More


My plan is to frame the embroidery with a small border, then to do a frame of pinwheels or windmills around that {which do you prefer?}.  Many of the quilts in the swap are much more modern, but I feel hopeful that my partner likes patchwork and will enjoy this color scheme too.  Now I've just got to cut into those lovely fabrics!
