Elysia

I finally had the opportunity to take a class from Patti Culea when she came to teach at our doll club last year. A full year later, Elysia was finished in time to be displayed at the Seaside Piecemakers Quilt Show. She was so much fun, with all the stitching, slashing, and melting on her wings and skirt (ok, not exactly the way Patty described). I love finishing edges with a heat gun. I don't know if I'll ever put in a hem or a binding again!

How much fun were these little pins? One of my very talented friends, doll artist Patty Briggs, had a few members of our doll club over to teach us how to create these guys. I got so involved, I made several to donate to the Boutique at the Seaside Piecemakers Quilt Show this weekend. Both the show and the doll exhibit by my doll club, The Daff-O-Dolls, were a big success. I'm so lucky to be surrounded by such extreme talent!
