This little doll quilt is 20x32 made for the WMQG Santa Claus Girl drive. And I get to buy a doll to go with it. Last year, I think we contributed over 400 quilts with dolls for West Michigan. And that is a good thing for our local kids. Do something for someone local today. Happy sewing my friends.

Dick and Jane
My favorite local quilt shop closed in Vermont this summer. It was called The Quilted Lilly and I always enjoyed going there whenever we were in town. I was truly sad as it was one of my favorite things to do when I visited. She just couldn't make it in this tough economy and for that I am trying to support my local shop here in Grand Rapids. Vermont is am amazing place as far as support of anything locally made- vegetables, fruits, dairy and even textiles. I cherish the local farmer even more after spending lots of time there each summer. More about that later- but support your local producers.
Back to today. I finished my blue flannel for Project Hope. I then moved on to my next charity quilt was was super fun last night. I purchased these Dick and Jane fabrics at The Quilted Lily during their closing sale. I love Dick and Jane. Who doesn't? I initially cut them in to six inch blocks. But too boring. So, of course added a strip set. And it felt much better. Even practiced my machine quilting with wavy lines.
