I watched my grandniece and nephews today so their mother could teach a class. I thought it would be a good time to post the quilt I made for Vanessa in February, 2006. She is now 7 and quite the young lady. We sat down at the sewing machine and together made a pinafore for Nellie, her American Girl doll. She was really very good at cutting and controlling the sewing machine.
Vanessa loves her quilt as do her brothers (Flying in Formation and Geckos). The butterflies came from on-line free patterns. This was my first project to free motion quilt by machine. The antennas were embroidered by hand.
Sarah (her mother) asked for pink, yellow and plaid to match the sponged painted plaid on Vanessa's walls. Her room is all girl and fits her to a "T".

Cute quilt! and so is Vanessa!
I love the butterfly quilt! What a wonderful great auntie you are. Thank you for the comments on my blog. Yes -- I will see what I can do to make the print larger, and I think I figured out how to make comments for each picture :). I'll try something new tomorrow. Thanks again.
That is just beautiful...I love the colours, what little girl wouldn't just love being wrapped up in that?!!! xo

What a cute picture of your grand niece! The butterfly quilt looks perfect for her. How fun to make a pinafore with her for her American girl doll - my older daughters both adore those dolls :0)
