A Doll Like Me!

Dear Amy,

I was especially inspired when I read the blog from Bernie at Needle and Foot about A Doll Like Me.  My mother passed away a couple of years ago and she was an avid sewer/quilter.  I had cleaned up a lot of her sewing things and had stored away a bin of what I thought were scraps.  They were WIPs.  After reading her blog, I went to the WIP bin to see what was there.  I found the Raggedy Ann & Andy fabric and after laying it out for a couple of days, I decided to make 2 doll quilts out of the panels.  I made one quilt and have enough to make another quilt.

The other fabric ‘work-in-progress’ was the large block of squares.  Some of the purple polka dot fabric was part of a larger piece.  I’m not sure what she made from it, but there was the border print with the girls and I just loved how it all came together.

As I get other ones done, I’ll be sending them your way.

I have enjoyed making these quilts and thinking about my mom.  Thank you very much for all that you do for these special children!!

With warm hugs for all!
