I got a late start on FNSI but it was for a good cause. We stopped by a wonderful art gallery in our neighborhood that was hosting an event benefiting Aids Care Services. My friend Wendy had a few of her wonderful dolls there. I especially love this one. Isn't she the cutest?! (The doll..not Wendy...though Wendy is very cute herself.)
Once I got home, I fixed some tea and started the sew fest. I'm making my own string pieced tie wall quilt for a shop sample. I'm planning on teaching it at Sew Original. I was able to get all the blocks pieced and then this evening got the top together except for the border. I'll post a picture of that when it's really done.
In the meantime, though, I have been busy playing at the shop with one of these.
This is what I did today - my first ever machine embroidery. (Ignore the stabilizer behind it that I haven't completely torn away.)
All I can say is...oh no...I drank the Kool Aid.

The doll is adorable. She does a nice job.
I can understand why you drank the Kool Aid. That looks beautiful.
Wendy's doll is fabulous! What talent!
I keep looking at the embroidery machines but refuse to drink the Kool-Aid! *lol*
Lovely border design. Can't wait to see how you combine it with your quilts.
I guess using that machine can be addicting!
Can't wait to see your tie quilt.
Yes, the doll is cute.
The doll is just darling.
Love the doll; does she make others as well? I'm also anxious to see the work you do with the ties. Very interesting!
Very cute doll - and yes, Wendy is cute too. :) blessings, marlene
Maybe my new neice Greyson and I will take the tie class. She has a bunch of ties from both Grandpa's and I think she would enjoy learning to make a quilt!
