Scrubs for 18" Doll

FINALLY got around to sewing up the 18" version of this pattern. :). Available here at Pixie Faire Love-U-Bunches Scrubs for 18"   Such a sweet little pattern. I do however fully line the top because that makes a much nicer neckline. See what I did here on the set?!  SEW much fun making things for the dolls.  I finished this a couple of months ago, and since then have been working on two throw quilts. More to follow on that later on.  Have taken up coloring book coloring again....little bit of line drawing as well. Sewing seems to be more of a Fall-Winter pastime for me.  More about this pattern for my 14" doll here:  14" Scribs info

 
 

2024 Spring Scrappy Quilt Finished...

Yes, I finished this quilty throw! I call it 2024 Spring Scrappy Quilt.  OMNI all the way - top and bottom, this was a fun quilt with 3.5 inch strips. Next one I do I think will be 4.5 inch strips on a larger center. But all the leftovers and scraps are about used up now - only three small pieces you could call "scraps" are left.  Onward to a new project...

 

Scrappy Throw No.2...

 

Oh yes! This is Scrappy Throw No.2.  Three and a half inch strips around a square starting piece. This was fun. I am finally getting it quilted on the Elna. Doing the sweeping curves again with AcuFeed.  Works well and seems implanted in muscle memory now as I have used the curves so many times. I am using OMNI thread in a light muted green on top and my preloaded light green Superior Threads So Fine 60 bobbins.  The batting is Warm & White, and the backing is a print of nostalgic Travel Americana that I have had around awhile. 

My Quilting Supervisor...and Quilting...

 She is still here and keeping her eye on me in all I do in the sewing area. Here, she is making sure my batting piecing comes along well with my joining foot. :) 

She didn't supervise my Pfaff when I was quilting the table runner...I suppose she trusts the Pfaff after all these years - the Pfaff will do a great job. :)  I insulate my windows on the sill every year with the leavings after trimming a quilt. In the sewing room. That really cuts the draft plus uses the leftovers wisely. ;) It is the trimming from all three quilt layers. The batting really cuts any drafts. Not going to look good in my House Beautiful layout I suppose though....HAHAHAHHA.....

Table Runner...Asian fabrics

 Asian fabrics table runner....the back is striking and is the dark red print shown above. Used Metrosene and Superior TWIST to quilt. TWIST began to separate when I was about two thirds done, so I switched to the same basic color in Metrosene, but of course Metrosene is not shiny and silky looking, but it worked.  Warm and White batting pieced with some Warm and Natural.  Bobbin was Superior Threads Bottom Line.

The family likes the back better than the front so that is what is upwards this time around. :) The pictures are difficult because of the 60" length of the piece, and the butterfly print just does not photograph well. In person it is very lovely and so is the turquoise with gold high lights.
