New quilt for Annie and her Raggedy Anne friends!

I made a Country Threads design, "Spring Pavers" a month ago and decided to make it again using my patriot prints...I will be ready to display it on the 4th of July.
 Suzanne, a friend, made a sewing kit for Sudie. Wonder what fun project (Sudie) has in mind?
Cover of sewing kit.
Suzanne is very detailed in her work as you can see. The sewing  kit measures
3" x  2 1/2"  
 We have been tending our flower and vegetable gardens. Our flower baskets are so colorful.

Chester, Chester, how does your garden grow?
He weeds it and scares the rabbits away!
If you look close you will see a Heirloom (San Marzano) Roma or two.
This is  our side  flower garden-- almost in full bloom.
 Dunyazode Lillies
Clematis

Sweet little "Sweet Pea" plant. Barb, a friend, gave me a start of this precious plant 4 years ago and this year it is blooming in all it's glory! Sharing plants with friends makes your garden so special...it becomes your friendship garden.
Hope you are enjoying a delightful week!
Hugs, Carolyn

    Your garden is beautiful. You must be getting the rain we're lacking. Things are drying out here. Love your doll quilt, the palette is perfect.

    Wow! Your garden should by on a garden tour, if it hasn't been already. The little embroidery kit is so tiny and so cute. What a talented friend you have.

    I made a doll a long time ago that had a little basket of sewing supplies. I made little bolts of fabric to put in with fabric wrapped cardboard. She had a wool coat and I made her shoes from a black leather thrift store quilt. I wish I hadn't donated her to a money making venture but she went to a good home.

    You are my hero and if you get your own reality show I want to be a guest so I can cheer you on. :-) I wish I could see all your doll quilts up close and personal. I'm in awe!

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!      Made this quilt a few years ago. One of my favorites!  "Bad and Happy Jack's" a Fon's and Porter design. Some are happy and some are bad🤐 Love the candy corn fabric. He is a happy camper!! He is not happy..where is my candy corn! Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!! Another must is Mr. Scarecrow. I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday. A wagon full of pumpkins.   Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"! Always fun to display the c.c. stitch pillow hanger. A "Lizzie High" design.   Made some Salsa a few weeks ago ..still displayed on the counter. 😊 Below are the Hummingbirds trying to fatten up before going South on there long journey.   Have a great month!  Stay safe. ...

Thinking about all of you during these trying time and hope all is good with you and your family. Found this statement with a special message for all of us giving up "Hope".

Made this shoulder bag to hold my cell, necessary information, and my mask fits around the strap,---  "handy"! Made a new small patchwork bed quilt for "Miss Hitty"!    We have 6 grandchildren. Three boys and three girls. Three grandaughters have graduated from ISU . One grandson is sophomore at ISU and other grandson is attending UNI . I have made graduation quilts for all six. Our youngest grandson, Joe graduated from high school this spring and is now attending ISU in Ames, Iowa.  Had fun finding plaids and ISU prints for incorporating into the design of this quilt...a few of these plaid came from grandpas shirts....this is "our" secret,  okay!!  Joe (3) licking the bea...
