The Scientific Seamstress

Look what Carla wrote on her blog yesterday

Yesterday a.m. I was getting my daily dose of Craft Gossip, and I came across a post about something very bright and beautiful. The Dolly Donations Blog offers free patterns and instructions for making sweet dollies to give to charities. Spearheaded by Sarah Hanson, a talented and energetic artist, the drive brings crafters from around the globe together to provide comfort to children in need. Currently, they are working to make 181 dolls for the Abundant Ground Foundation, which will provide the dolls to Haitian orphans.

Piping Roses on Felt

Remember those roses we made about 2 months ago???   OK so now we take those and adhere them to cardboard circles on the underside of the tulle and voila like magic they stick.  I adore this if you make one please show me , you know how I get when you don't share!!!!  Also the quilt for So St. Croix by our friend Scott Hansen  is up on the site and you can now make one for yourself!!!!!!  It's a bit hard to find but it's there and it's a free download.  Yes and don't forget all the good deals on Sis Boom fabrics in the previous post ok??????   oh yes and George in the background is sleeping sort of with one eye opened (he's being punished )because he took out all the trash from the garbage can!! yes, covered with coffee grounds when I was upstairs embellishing the tulle skirt..You could call that place where he's sitting the doghouse!!!
