I finally finished a small quilt that was started a very long time ago and quilted by a friend last summer. It's a design by Lynette Anderson, and I learned the hard way that when you print out a pattern it's not always the correct size. That I found out after all the stitching was done, and I started putting it together. So with a bit of pattern modification, the piecing was completed and my friend quilted it for me. I really don't enjoy binding quilts and tend to procrastinate that detail. Well, a certain young lady asked me to embroider something for her birthday, and, bingo! I knew just the thing. It's done early, no less, and I hope she will like it.
The dress for the other little August birthday girl is also finished. I measured her yesterday, and it should fit for a while.
Now, to get back to the Amish alphabet! Have a great week!

That's a beautiful quilt and a lovely knitted dress, lucky are those that receive them!
That is most certainly a beautiful Noah's Ark quilt. It came together well after your size adjustments to the blocks. Such cute animals.
Love the ruffle dress. Pretty yarn.
That's a Lynette Anderson pattern I haven't seen. Looks great!

What a charming quilt: your blocks are very nicely featured and the back is perfect.
