Lots going on over there so you should check it out. My photostream is here. Let me know if any of you are on flickr so I can add you as a contact.
Anyhoo, round 7 of the doll quilt has started and I have been stalking my partner. Although not too much stalking was really needed as I already knew of them. But that doesn't give too much away as I think I already knew of most of the quilters taking part this round! This is what is making it so much more fun!
I am not entirely sure this is what I will end up sending my partner but I like how it is turning out so far. I decided I wanted to do some raw edge applique and mix techniques a little.
So I started with a tree and carved an oval shape out of an eraser and used that to stamp the leaves.
Then I sewed some strips together for the ground and added a bird and a birdhouse (to cover a botched stamp!).
And I am also working on this.
I used the same technique as for my STUD mini but this time instead of sewing all over all the fabric I sewed around each piece of fabric.
This is what I have now. I have to say I LOVE it and I will have a hard time indeed sending it away!

No wonder you don't want to give away that last one, it's gorgeous! I mean really gorgeous. The little girl and cat reading is inspired. Does that technique of sewing down the squares have a name, I'm tempted to try something like that myself!

Wow, this is so utterly fabulous. I just LOVE this style of quilt and each little component is just beautiful!

Sorry, rendered senseless by your gorgeous quilt but I meant to say I received your lovely blocks and the fabulous pillow slip. That will be put to very good use - maybe I can even incorporate in the back of the quilt. Thanks so much! x

I'm loving the little girl and her cat - surely this could be a children's story. Go on - get writing.
Sending lots and lots of love as always xxx

I really love what you've done with the little reading quilt. The type on the book is great and the detail of sewing a layered background is terrific. I'm happy I've found your blog!

Tacha, as always your work is stunning! I just love seeing what you've created.

Slowly getting caught up with my favourite blogs...LOVE that tree - I would have such a hard time parting with it.
August 19, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Tacha, I've never seen something sweet like that! Every detail is just stunning...!
August 20, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Tacha, I am not sure how you are going to give that sweet little quilty up??? It is very nice! Great to see your blog!

TASCHA OMG OMG OMG OMG THIS ARRIVED TODAY AND I LOVE IT!
Did you know this was my favourite quilt in the DQS photostream? I was praying and hoping it would come to me! I remember way back when you posted a photo of the girl and the cat on the picnic rug I thought, wow that is cool, I love that kind of applique! (and I even printed it out to put on my inspiration board)
And now I have the real thing! I love it so much thank you thank you thank you!
