Anne's Annie
Caffinated Stitcher
by Meme's Quilts. I have always loved Raggedy Ann and this sweet birdhouse is no exception. I love the antique look you add to the details of this piece.....a tea dyed collar and sanded body parts. When I get to her legs the socks will also be tea dyed.

A tea dyed collar and pretty fabric torn bow. The model has a button attached in the center of the bow, but I elected to leave this off as I liked it better without.

Sweet face!

Body and hole for a bird to move in.....I'm not so sure I want my sweet Annie invaded by birds...lol!

I've still to make another trip over to the lumber store to pick up more wood and hopefully will get to it soon. This is another project that I'm just taking my time with and will work on it as I feel like it.

Meme's Quilts
Caffinated Stitcher
Meme's Quilts has long been a favorite of mine for her beautiful primitive doll patterns. I decided that maybe I need something to do in conjunction with cross stitching for now. I used to make alot of dolls and sell them or give them to friends. I tried my hand at ceramics and tole painting too and had a lot of fun! So, yesterday I searched out my old doll patterns that were my very favorites and ordered a few more. Here's what I ordered:

This one is called "All Rag Dolls" by Meme's Quilts. Moda has a line of fabrics out called "Bistro" and I thought she would be adorable in coffee type fabrics :) I LOVE it!!!!


Coffee bean bloomers :) Perfect!!!


This is "Rachel - Woodland Angel". I think she would make a nice herb angel too.


Nutmeg & Cookie" are just adorable! Ya know, I just realized that she has gingerbread looking rick rack sewn on her.....that has to go, but I like the rest a lot :)


Right now Meme's Quilts has a spring special - order 3 patterns and get one free. My choice was the lovely "Amy Anne" for my free pattern. She's a sweet birdhouse! I have Annie's Annie (no longer for sale) and I thought they would make lovely companion pieces. I also ran across another pattern that is no longer for sale called Libby Liberty from Meme's Quilts that I found in a magazine years ago. She's another birdhouse and should be lots of fun to make.

So, a little doll making and tole painting - now just to drag out all of the necessary tools and get down to the lumber company! Oh...and over to River City Quilts to pick up the Bistro fabrics!
