These three needed a little beauty makeover. Hulga and Hilda were just a little too ghostly looking so I used a little coffee on their faces and Dorie needed some hair and a little nose. Dorie has been adopted, so she is ready for her new home.

Hilda Hugehead
I'm still practicing for the Dotee doll swap. It turns out Hulga has a twin sister named Hilda. I still don't quite have the head thing down yet.

Hulga Hugehead
I joined a Dotee doll swap and thought I should do a practice run since I really am not comfortable with faces. I see I need a little work on getting the right body/head proportion.

Seeing Stars
This pattern is called Seeing Stars by Pieces from my Heart. I bought the pattern and kit sometime last year and it has been one of the quickest and easiest wall hangings I have ever done.

Crazy quilt ATC's
These crazy quilt artist trading cards are for a swap for one of the groups that I'm in. They turned out to be much more labor intense than I thought they would be.

Round Robin
This is the second block that I received to work on for the round robin I'm in.
This is the work that I did.
This is a close up of the oyster stitch and cast on stitch.

I finished something today
My daughter wanted a bulletin board type thing for her dorm room and having two children in college I'm trying to be frugal. So I went to my basement and dug out an old tri-fold poster board thing that had been used for a science fair project. I split it on the folds and covered it with some left over batting, fabric and ribbon. It not Martha Stewart standards but it's done and the price was right.
This is a close up of the ribbons.

New Thread
I brought this yummy rayon thread at Nordic Needle in Fargo. I don't really love working with it yet, I think I just need to practice ( that's why I had to buy more) but I absolutely love the look of it. Then some night when there is something good on TV I will sit and put them into these handy dandy holders that I bought at Nordic Needle last year.

Two crazy white cats
Our small group of crazy quilters will be doing a round robin and I decided to make a white cat to send around. Well, I messed up and didn't reverse one and I ended up with two fronts and no back. So I made two backs and now have two cats. One will be sent around and the other I am going to use as a practice cat for new stitches and old stitches that I need to master.
