Old and New...


About a million years ago - or when I was about 8 years old - my Grandma made a quilt for my Chatty Cathy doll.  I have managed to hang on to it all these years.  I used to keep it in my cedar chest, but now it sits on top of the pile of small quilts and unused pillow covers that reside on said cedar chest.

Here it is...

I love it...don't you?  It measures about 21" square and is made with pieces of corduroy, cotton and flannel...it is soooo soft!

One day, out of the blue, I had a thought!  (ohyeah...it does happen once in awhile!)  The thought was to take my scraps of Christmas fabrics and make a doll quilt based loosely on the way Grandma put together my little quilt.  So, that's what I did.  I finished it this morning.


This one measures about 23 inches square.  I will be listing it in my Etsy shop later today.

I have been busy sewing...more to show tomorrow.
