Mancuso World Quilt show

This was the most extraordinary quilt show I've ever seen.  The different countries used different fabrics we can no longer purchase here.  Remember Sateen?  A couple of Germany quilts used mostly sateen.  Very interesting. Here are a few of the art quilts. . .The Hoffman Challenge dolls are gorgeous. The Hoffman Challenge clothing is beautiful.  And the art quilts amazing, see how she is stepping on the scale and the weigher has no idea?  Blessings, Janet

FiFi's Party

I looked at Fifi's Party and requested an invite to the next one. She really knows how to throw a party and her paintings are exquisite. Go take a look at Fifi's Party.  She also paints Paris scenes and (your) pets.  She is so fun.

Happy Veterans Day

A day to honor those who have served our country and make us safe. Remember our troops daily in your prayers.
I have a new doll. She's unfinished.  It took me 3 tries to make a new hat for her. Finally, I have it. It is not the one she is wearing.  This one is shiny and bright like she is. She has a curvy figure and her face is amazing (not shown here),  I am still working on the cats, however, I have turned to the crochet hook and they are coming into being.
Blessings,

Janet

More Cat Ornaments

Trying to play catch up after the enormous Halloween fun.  The cats are talking to me, as you can see. Turn my back and they start dating. . . I have to finish my doll.  She's almost done. I crocheted a hat for her but now I have to make the coat/dress.  She does have a shiny dress, but she needs to tone it down some. She's a cute gal.
Blessings, Janet

Brave New Cat

New material, no peace.  They all want to come out and play. I finally finished 2 Prim cats.  Now I am busy crocheting, usually what I do at Bee on Tuesday nights.
I won - a gift certificate from the Bunny fabshophop.com  There is another shop hop coming up Nov. 15.  Check it out and find the bunnies. They offer free patterns, discounts at many of the shops and prizes.
Blessings, Janet

New Cats on the block

I just finished another cat ornie.  My daughter and I loaded up on material and we are ready to work, work, work.  Of course this is not work, it brings new dolls to life. YAY!  I have something else I'm planning, but wanted to get these cuties done first.

Once upon a Time. . .

There was a Great witch that found a Flamingo.  AH, she will paint the Flamingo green, as green as her, and ride him on Halloween night.  Flamingos are great flyers. . . so she painted him green and put lights around his neck and on his hind feet (in case there was no full moon, she could see her way).  The felt Flamingo is standing in sand and ready to go. She is sculpted cloth with a crochet hat and saddle. Her shapely legs have net stockings with a seam up the back. She has suede boots and jumper.  She also has a tatoo and her nails are painted. Her little niece, WannaBee witch hasn't turned all green yet. She still has some of her curls and she has a tiny hat atop her head.  She is cloth sculpted with a blouse and jumper and boots. Her cape is much smaller. She is so anxious to be out and about with her Auntie.
Unfortunately, I did not win the contest.  I had so much fun and have bonded with a couple of really great people. Cannot wait until next year. Happy November.
Blessings, Janet
