Franny Fresh Design

I have been pretty busy with Fiona's party prep so....

..I have not been making anything. I have been thinking of making stuff but I have to prioritize. In the meantime check out my blog " Breathe " chroniciling my adventures with Fiona. Today was great, American Museum of Natural History, Swedish Marionette Theater production of Peter Pan, Belvedre Castle, the Carosel, Adventure Playground and finally the Time Warner building where we watched the stars change color. Pictures to follow.

Rainy Day Saturday

It rained most of the day. I washed, pressed and cut over 300 6" by 6" squares of printed and solid cotton fabric to start my first patchwork quilt.

 

Next thing I know I am sewing it together and stayed up until 1 AM. Unheard of these days.

 

That big black creature you see is our resident black bear Mabel.

You may wonder where and what Fiona was doing all this time. I told her earlier that she could watch as much TV and chew as much gum and eat as much candy as she wanted. Her remark? "Why are you being so nice to me?"

I had some squares left, so Sunday morning while Fiona continued her Saturday activities I made her dolls Rosie and Duncan two patchwork pillows and a quilt to go w/ the crocheted throw pillow and blanket. That Ikea doll bed look so cute. No?
