The Front
The back
The label
I got Karen's quilt delivered to her; she and her husband Paul were most appreciative. It matches just about everything in their house. In fact, one pillow is almost (but not quite) the same design as the quilt; it definitely is the same colors. Karen really likes black, grey, and red.
The Booklet Covers
I also got 50 Emmaus worship booklet covers delivered. After much due diligence, I found another yard of the needed fabric (red with hearts and swirls). As the photo shows, I made a prototype and used it to cover my 2004 (when I made my walk) copy with the rose fabric that I already had in my stash.
Rosie's Dollhouse
The Kitchen
The Living Room
The Sewing Room
I've been wondering what project I'm going to work on next, and I think I have decided. Some of you long-time visitors of my blog might remember when I started my dollhouse quilt. The pattern was Rosalie Quilan's, the sweet Australian quilter who lost her battle with breast cancer a few years ago. I had just begun to know her and her husband (ex-husband shortly after I met them via Internet) when Rosie passed away. I have since lost touch with her ex-husband too.
Anyway, I started that quilt some ten years ago, hoping to finished it by our upcoming quilt show. I missed that quilt show deadline, along with the next three shows. So I'm setting a new deadline. I intend to have it finished by our next quilt show, which will be coming up in June 2024. I have all the blocks except two made, I think. If I take this deadline seriously, add a little determination, I think I can do it. Wish me luck.
I'm making beef stew for dinner tonight. I already have a pasta salad made and cooling in the fridge. Daughter Andy is coming to have dinner with us. And we might watch a movie if she isn't too tired from working all day. She has a pretty stressful job, managing and office crew.

I do remember you working on the doll house quilt. It’s really nice and well done. I had been working in Farmers Wife and set it aside. I should set a deadline for myself to finish it. Covid hit. Other family illnesses (not Covid). Lost my interest and now am kind of into junk journals although I think I like accumulating supplies more. My sister and I are teaching ourselves to play the piano. She’s a good bit ahead of me. And then there are books to read. So many fun things to do and I’m sure not getting any younger or feeling any spryer! Have enjoyed reading your blog for many years.
