Another Quilt Festival has come and gone. This year, with so many shows in the month of October, I only managed to get two dolls made for the International Quilt Festival. One for the "In Celebration of the Doll" exhibit
 |
| "Sim Shalom" ("Let There Be Peace") |
and one for the TAODA "Block Party" exhibit
 |
| "Quilting Queen" This doll has 165 patterned quilt blocks in her outfit. I used Log Cabin, Spools, Pineapple, Fan, Roman Square, Floral Applique, and Ohio Star. |

Check out the TAODA blog for lots more pictures of the dolls.
Preview night is always the most fun. I added to my Elise Peeple doll collection
and made some nice purchases of fabrics and trims
Just for fun, I took a ribbon dyeing class with Christen Brown
Here are some of the ribbons I dyed in class using different stitching and folding techniques.
Another successful Quilt Festival!
