Baby Doll Quilt




 
My niece has become a baby-doll girl.  She loves her babies.  She recently went into the kitchen and got a dishtowel to wrap her doll up in.  I thought it was time to make a cute little quilt, a proper baby blanket.  I pulled out the scrap bag from making her baby quilt and started laying out the scraps in a pattern until I liked it and the size.  I think it turned out wonderful and like that it matches her quilt.  She loved the quilt and was more excited about it than any of the other toys she opened on Christmas.

Grapevine Angel


 
I saw these grapevine angels at the craft store and had to make one for my Grandma, who loves angels.  I bought a berry garland, cut it down, and hot-glued it to her middle to spray out over the wings.  The dress is scrap fabric just turned under on the edges.  I added ribbon and rosette ribbon as a trim.
 
Inspired by a pin found on Pinterest.
