meet Bubbles

Bubbles was my Mum's much loved doll.  Yes she has seen better days but that simply makes her more precious.

 

 

I don't remember her being dressed any differently and like to think Mum made her skirt and Nan knitted her cardigan. Rather than new clothes, I could make Bubbles her own quilt. This has taken a long time to do because it had to be 'just right'.

It was chance that Bronwyn mentioned she needed to make a doll quilt and had been looking at the Four-Patch with Chintz, in the book Childhood Treasures by Merikay Waldvogel. I realised this one would be perfect for Bubbles. It's one of my favourites but for some reason had never made the connection. 

 

 

I do hope you all have a chance to do a little Easter sewing too.

Happy Easter!
