Goldilocks and the Three Bears

I have a cute little two year old grand daughter named Taylor.

 Many months ago, when I first saw Stacy Iest Hsu's Goldilocks and the Three Bears Novelty Cut Sew Doll Panel, I knew I had to make it for Taylor for Christmas.

She loves dolls and role playing and I hoped she'd like it :)

I'm not usually a fan of doll panels, but some of them are really cute!

Isn't Taylor precious?

But seriously, what little girl wouldn't want these?
I wanted one, lol!

Goldilocks has a removable skirt, and so does Mama Bear.

Papa Bear's bow tie is too much, along with his shorts and suspenders.

I added a little "I Love You" tag to baby bear but sewed it on backwards, oops!

I had them all nestled in a large lined drawstring bag by Jeni Baker.

I made the bag out of Lori Holt's fabric line "Flower Patch".

I had the brilliant (ha ha!) idea of including the book in the bag.

I researched all the goldilocks books and this one seemed the best.

Goldilocks is very naughty in the book, she doesn't listen to her mom.

There are a lot of lessons to learn from that.

I'm pretty sure Taylor likes her gift.

Thanks to her mom Kimalee for taking the photos for me :)

I was so intent on wrapping and delivering the gift that I totally forgot!

Flower Power Throw quilt

I made this quilt for a baby gift, but I loved it so much, I just couldn't part with it!

I used "Gracie Girl" fabric by Lori Holt.

I've been hoarding it and thought that this was the perfect pattern to show off all the pretty prints.

The original quilt had 20 squares, I cut mine down to 12, for a baby size, 42" X 56".

The blocks are 14", and each one uses a fat quarter.

I bought some pretty, soft pink minky to back it with.

Are you familiar with the Britsh quilt magazine "Love Patchwork and Quilting"?  

Each issue comes with a freebie, which is a bonus!

This book came with Issue #10.

It really is a perfect pattern to show off big prints!

The original quilt measures 56" X 70".

Jeni Baker is one of my favorites :)
