I’m thinking about Sugarplum Fairy Christmas cards this year. That’d be cute right? This gal is floating around in the craft room waiting for her partner Gum-Drop to be done at the salon.

A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
That Sugar Plum Fairy is so cute! They would be great cards. Hmm…as far as baby quilts, I think this one from Bunny Hill designs is very sweet.

Wow is she the cutest doll ever!!
I’m so loving your hair on these dolls lately. I tried yarn hair a couple times and royally suck at it! Did you teach yourself? If so did you spend a ton of time playing around with it or are you just naturally good at that, too? 🙂
I don’t have any ideas, but I have been coveting the third fabric from the top in your pile. I fondle it each time I go to work at the fabric store…
Also, I love love love the sugarplum fairy!
your dollys are so sweet! I don’t know how well this would fit with your fabrics, but I do think these are so cute!

Those fabrics are so beautiful! I wouldn’t want to hesitate to work with them…I’m a bit jealous!
Love the Sugar Plum Fairy! Great fabrics for a baby quilt. I’ve been loving the tiny square look, see here:

That’s a very sweet fairy indeed. Since you asked, I saw this baby quilt and thought it was very inspired. The quilting is a Sweedish lullaby.

I’m loving Josie’s quilts lately. The aqua and orange one, the birdie quilt, the liberty quilt, it’s all great stuff.

Manda over at Tree Fall made a beautiful “not baby” quilt and posted about it a few (two?) weeks ago. Very pretty and yet mellow design~

love the hair too….any tips you can share? thanks! great ideas have been sent your way…good inspiration vibes.
OK I feel silly sending you a link to MY blog but as I made a quilt out of some of my fabric that you have in that pile (in flannel), I think it’s ok. Don’t think me too much of a solicitor. 🙂 Have fun!

I just uploaded photos of a new pattern I’m working on. http://www.flickr.com/photos/14718747@N04/ It’s a larger version of the doll quilt I sent for Phoebe last summer. It’ll be ready to be tested in a week or so.
those fabrics look wonderful together, hillary. what about a crazy-esque quilt, like the one in denyse schmidt’s book?
i happen to love, love, love this thrifted number i picked up earlier this year…it’s a simple pattern of squares, but i think the fabric ruffle is really great http://www.flickr.com/photos/92174679@N00/2200479370/in/set-72057594085247853/
I absolutely love your dolls. Wish I could make ones that were as cute.
Here’s a little patchwork mat I made myself – it might inspire you

The dolls are sooooo cute!
I just made a baby quilt for my baby boy. I’m new to the whole quilting thing, but this was one of those rare times when what I made actually looked like what was in my head, so I think I’m totally hooked.
