I made a doll quilt and pillow set to match the quilt and pillow case I made for Kaylee. It was a nice little project to get some practice on my new sewing machine. Now we just have to run out to Ikea to pick up a doll bed. The Viking is sooooo much different from my Brother machine - it is super smooth, has a ton of power, and you are literally in control of each stitch. I can understand why they are so pricey now that I have given one a whirl.
In other crafty news, I bought material for my next quilt project; a birthday gift for our niece Emily. It hasn't arrived yet, but here is a taste:

Emily's room is the epitome of girly; pastel pink & green and she loves yellow. I had a hard time picking it out since I tend to be drawn to either muted colors or monochromatics rather than pastels and flowers. Since I had to order it in 1/2 yards, I'll have a bunch of leftover fabric so I also plan on making a pillowcase, matching doll quilt and pillow, and getting her a doll bed too. Possibly, if I have time left over, I'll make her an outfit or two for her Olive doll too. I have until October so I think it is totally doable.
a great project completed on your new machine! so great you love it!
ReplyDeletethanks, Holly :)I think I may make mini versions of all my future quilts. It's a fun little project and a good way to test things out.
ReplyDeleteI love the mini quilt and so happy that you love your new machine. Are you swearing less now?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you love your Viking! I love mine, even tho it's pretty old now.
