Back in May, I discovered that Cheri was having a doll QAL once again. I have made another of her designs but have to get it quilted but could not resist this one. When can I ever resist a doll quilt??? *grins*
I jumped in with both feet while I was having a hard time using my right hand. If you remember, I explained that there is a problem with the blood going into my hand. The doctor thought I had Raynaud's disease. I have been through a great deal of testing at the hospital which will continue again in July as it seems there is more on the hand (no pun intended) than the doctor thought. I am seeing a specialist who is having to play Dr. House at the moment. Is this important you ask? Yes as it has everything to do with a little change I made in the name of my quilt.
Here is Georgia's Perseverance. I added the word perseverance as that is exactly what I did while making it. I went right into quilting it as I wanted to prove to myself that my hand is going to be okay even if it means I have to stitch a little slower. And I am so pleased with my latest addition to my doll's armoire!

For the moment, I am keeping the quilt out on the dining room table as I thought it colored so nicely with my cherry pinkeep. Since cherry season is among us, I wanted to celebrate it.
Do you celebrate a season with something stitched or quilted?
Hello. I've got a stars and stripe runner cut out and hope to sew on it this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteYour perseverance quilt is beautiful.
You always inspire me. I'm trying to gear myself up to do some quilting for Christmas. I didn't know you could fill up a blog.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful quilt! I like the name of the blog.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI used to hang a beautiful handmade quilt of the Nativity at Christmas but our daughter, Denise, loved it, so I gave it to her. Now she hangs it in her home.
The quilt is lovely Heidi and I'm ready to do some stitching myself. I took my exam today for the course I am studying - it's been a long old haul this last 10 months but now I hope to get my life back and do catch up with all my favourite things. Thanks for your lovely comments on my last post. Like the name of your new blog by the way.

Good luck with your new blog Heidi. I love the name. I'm glad you are keeping the old blogs as they really are full of memories.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry your hand is bad but, knowing you as I do I 'm not at all surprised that Perseverance features in the name you chose for your little quilt. It's very beautiful and dainty. The quilting design is lovely.
I definitely celebrate Halloween and Christmas with stitchy things and wish I spent more time creating seasonal displays too. I am always in awe of yours and promise myself I'll do more but I never seem to get round to it....sigh :-)

Wow does a blog really get full?? I never knew! Not that my posts are so often that it will fill up. Nice to see you are continuing. xx
ReplyDeleteAnother beautyful doll quilt. And finished!! Good luck on the new blog, I'll change my link.
ReplyDeleteLove the doll quilt, you've used such pretty fabrics. I have stitched pinkeeps and bowl fillers for autumn and winter but for some reason I've never made any for spring and summer. I really must do some more cross-stitch, I've several small things that I want to do. All I need is to make a start!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely name for your new blog, Heidi. I am trying desperately to catch up whilst moving into the new house.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this little quilt! You're so talented!
ReplyDeleteHow did you old blog get full? I've never heard of that happening. I love the name and look of this blog - the cherries in the picture look like they're sitting here with me the picture is so real looking!
How do you know a blog gets full? What am I missing? Your little quilt is cute!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new quilt Heidi!
ReplyDeleteI love your new doll quilt Heidi and the name is perfect! The colors are so pretty and the quilting design just seems to fit. Well done my friend...especially with all the health issues you have to handle! I am so proud of you!!!! I also love the name of your new blog...I feel that everytime I stitch something there is always a special memory that goes along with it...at least for me. Take care my friend and here is a special hug from CA.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful doll quilt! I love the colors you chose, and the quilting in the corners. I'm looking forward to reading your new blog faithfully - as I did the last one - and hopefully will see you through to yet another new one!
ReplyDeleteI'll be following your new blog, Heidi. Have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog, Heidi! The quilt is beautiful. I do celebrate the seasons with different stitched pieces and quilts.
ReplyDeleteLovely little quilt Heidi. I'm trying to get more seasonal in my decoration, it is becoming more common here, when I was younger people only really decorated for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love the little quilt. I celebrate every season with decorations - in fact, I change things around about once a month. I have too many nice things and not enough space.

Heidi, you nailed it with the definition of perseverance. Take care of yourself! The quilt is adorable and really looks great finished. I used to decorate for every occasion I could come up with but I quit a few years ago because it seemed to be more trouble than anything. Now, I regret not decorating.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteso perfect by the bowl of cherries, beautiful quilting....i can't do that even with two good hands!
ReplyDeletei do decorate with quilts....not so much just for the seasons but all year through, they are folded and hung everywhere....thanks so much for sharing.....cheri
Well done!!! I really hope you will be able to keep going, you are a tough one!

ReplyDeleteI'm curisous how can a blog get "full" I've been blogging at the same blog for about 9 years now and not once have I been told its full or getting close to it.
