I couldn't decide what to do with the embroidered paper doll squares. I didn't want to make a pillow or quilt, so I made a banner. I colored in the squares like I did here and then embroidered away.
It looked like something was missing, so I added hangers to all the clothes. Edged them with vintage looking fabrics that I had. So much fun.
I sewed it together with seam tape . Easy and fun. I strung it on the end of my bed, because the light is better in here.
Here it is in my craftroom। This is where it will stay.If you want the patterns for the paper doll or clothes I will be posting them soon।I've had a few issues with my computer. I'm trying to solve those. I hate computer problems!
I received a package of Halloween goodies from Kim at Musings from Kim K. What a wonderful surprise.She is so creative! Each thing was wrapped or in a cute bag. It was so much fun to open and really brightened my day!I just love that little Halloween tree. Thank you, Kim!
I also got my scallop pinking shears, and they seem to work great. They are hard to find and so I had to order online. Hmmm, I see a project coming up!
I have reorganized my fat quarters. Every time I pulled one out, half of the pile came with it. I'll see how long it lasts like this. I actually wrapped each one on a 5x5 cardboard scrap. If I get any more I'll have to go into plan B, cuz plan A is getting pretty crowded!
I'm getting geared up to do some fall and Halloween decor. The weather has finally turned for us. I even made soup today! I hope you are enjoying your weekend and some glorious fall weather!

Can't wait for the embroidery patterns. These would make a cute baby blanket. Are you planning to use the hankies in a project? I have quite a few hankies and would love to incorporate them into a quilt but don't know where to start.
