I'm so in love with this Dutch Doll quilt that my Grandmother made years ago before I was even born.
It's on my bed here at my Momma's.
Each dutch doll is made with scraps of fabric upcylced from their old clothes. I think mostly her old dresses.
This quilt REALLY inspires me!
I love this old picture of my Grandmother and Grandfather from when they were young. I think my Grandmother was only 16 in this picture, and they had just gotten married. She had the prettiest red hair, and he was so handsome in his uniform!
They are both long gone, but their memory lives on in this picture that I have in my living room ,and in my dutch doll quilt!

I love Sunbonnet Sue! One of the places I get my embroidery patterns from has a series called Sinbonnet Sue. They are totally punk and funky.
