I was meaning to tell you about this last week but with everything halloweenie, the days just flew by too fast!! Months ago I was asked to be in the book
Pretty in Patchwork Doll Quilts by
Cathy Gaubert by
Lark Crafts, and I was sooo excited!! As most know, I absolutely LOVE doll quilts!! I think they had a lot to do with getting me hooked so quickly on quilting years ago!! They are the best project to do when you want to work on a new technique, or just have a fun little project that you can do in a day or two!! So to say the least, I was truly hopping with happiness when Cathy ask me to join in on her book!!
My doll quilt, Little Red Riding Hood!! You know how I just love Little Red!

The embroidery of Little Red I did that is also included in the book!! She was inspired by the cute Little Red in the Japanese fabric I used in the dresden plate.

Aren't those all simply fabulous!?! And that was really just a small portion of all the lovely quilts!! As there are "24 little quilts to piece, stitch, and love"!!
I also must tell you that if you also love doll quilts like I do,
Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting a doll quilt
contest for Cathy's new book!! You must go check it out!! I don't know if I'll be able to resist a doll quilt contest!!

Your quilt is adorable! I have 3 daughters, but amazingly none of them are into dolls. Probably because we always have a real one around:)
