Ooo, I love this post. I am a fan of Holly Hobby and had one when I was a little girl. My doll was chewed by my dog but i do have a jewelery box that has her on it :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks for jogging such sweet memories.
I am in LOVE with that blue quilt! I love quilts, and that one is precious! My sister is the crafter in the family, and she does beautiful crochet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!

What a walk down memory lane. I have smocked, I have chicken scratched (sounds like a medical condition!) and have embroidered both Holly and Sue.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday to you.
Great post! I love the Chicken Scratch patterns. Looks like those would be fun to make. Thank for your visiting and telling me about O.N.T. I learned something today! :-) Happy Blue Monday
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely blues. I like the Holly Hobby best. Happy Blue Monday.

I always think of chicken scratch on aprons but it never dawned onme that you could do a whole quilt with it. That's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing these books. CC!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue quilt. The first pictures made me want to get out my needle and embroidery thread and do some needlework. I've done a lot of it in the past but not in the last few years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
