Iris asked me to make a doll out of her drawing. It was such a sweet request, and adorable piece of art that I asked her if I could make a doll quilt instead. I figured it might last longer that way. I went over her drawing with a sharpie marker, then traced it onto some muslin, and embroidered it with red thread. Then I pieced together a tiny quilt. It was the perfect size for me to try free-hand sewing or "stippling" on my machine. I love how it turned out. Lilly has me making her one now, and Dan encouraged me to enter it into the OC fair where he entered a guitar he is building. It had been a long time since I did anything creative, and I really appreciate my girls for making requests and encouraging me to get crafty!
cute idea!
