Minnie the new manneqin! Isn't she cute? And following the old seamstress tradition, I had to give her a name. Her name is Minnie because she is small. She is a child size 3/4. I think we are going to be good friends, she and I. :)
Meet Minnie....

Wow!
That's really about all I can say about this.
This launch has really attracted a lot of attention.
I can't deny that these outfits are very well made, a lot of time and effort and cash went into them. They are obviously selling. My question is, who buys this stuff? I mean, I can't see a kid really wearing this and getting the money out of it.
I think I must be way too practical or something.

Postage Stamp Update
I worked on the postage stamp quilt most of the day today. So far I have 28 16 patch blocks finished. The blocks will finish at 8 inches. So far I am liking how it looks. I am getting a little tired of cutting all the little squares for it, though. And of course, the inspector has to give her approval. :0)
I am very honored!
I have been accepted to the b*cheeky boutique design group! I have to admit that it is going to be a real challenge to keep up with all of the goings on, but I am going to give it my best shot. I am very honored to have been invited to join this great bunch of designers.
Now, I'm off to get busy sewing so that I can jump in with both feet soon! LOL
I love postage stamps...
Postage stamp quilts that is. So I decided to start my own, only I'm not crazy enough to do 1.5 inch squarers. I'm using 2.5 inch ones instead. I am trying to let this one just be random. I am not thinking about palette or fabric pairings or anything like that. Anything goes. This is really hard for my brain which loves organization, so I think everything has to have some sort of pattern all the time. I decided that I just have wayyyyyyyyyyyyy toooooooooo manyyyyyyyyyyy scrapsssssssss! LOL I just need a way to use up a bunch of them without having to worry about,"well this fabric doesn't go with anything else so I guess I won't use it this time". None of that. I half considered cutting up ALL of my scraps into 2.5 inch squares, and however big this thing winds up is how big it will be. I soon realized that that could take me a very long time to cut them all up and that quilt might be big enough to cover the entire state, so I decided to just cut random fabrics as I go. LOL I just grab a hunk and cut a bunch of squares. Then I grab another hunk and cut that up, too. I'm not counting how many I cut, I'm just cutting until I'm done with that piece and then I grab something else. When I get a bunch cut, then I go and add them to the pile, mix it up some more and chain piece for a while until I feel like I need different fabrics. Then I go cut some more. I have no plan as to how big I want to make this or anything. It is sort of nice to just have no plan and just run with it. It will be as big as it is when I get bored working on it, LOL. I think I might put them together in like 36 patch blocks or something before I put the whole top together. I'm not that far yet.
I also finished Amanda's birthday quilt. I had it done a while ago, but I just have been too busy to post.
