Design Wall Monday - July 6, 2026 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

 Happy 6th of July everyone!  

The 4th was pretty quiet around my house, but we did have some excitement the day before.  Hubby got a hole in one on the golf course!  We have been celebrating his celebrity status ever since.  Pretty good for an 84 year old!

I finished the America 250 doll quilt in time for the fourth.  It measures 12” by 16”. 


Here is a picture of it beside the copy I made of the original crib quilt.  My crib quilt measures 38” by 45”.  I blogged about making the crib quilt (Here)


If possible, I make ...

There is progress on my America 250 doll quilt:


I have the main part of the hst body finished, and am ready to add the stripes to sides and top.  

The two flags for the bottom part were made this week.  However, I forgot that they had to be mirror images of each other.  There will be another flag made this week, with the stars in the upper left side of the flag.  Here is the flag part where you can see my mistake:

Today is my wedding day - 63 years ago!   DH and I have many happy memories of anniversaries in the past, but are just going out to dinner tonight as a small celebration this year.  He is golfing in the afternoon, and I am quilting with a friend.  Each doing our own loved hobby, and looking forward to the evening spent together.  We feel very blessed.

Here is a picture of the design wall, with a little progress on the Jane Austen project:

Good Morning Quilters!  Today is Memorial Day and we honor those who fought and died for our freedom.  I have deep respect and gratitude for all of them. 

Five rows (out of a total of fifteen) are finished for the doll quilt I’m making to celebrate our country’s 250th anniversary.  Sewing these hsts together is a fun project, as it grows a little bit each day.  See last week’s post for more info.


Progress has also been made on the Jane Austen quilt, with much thanks to Amy, our “extra Grandaughter” who is staying with us for ...

 Good Morning Quilters!

We have a house guest for the summer, and she moved in yesterday.  For over two years we have befriended two international students attending Calvin University here in Grand Rapids.  They are Grace, who is from India, and Amy, who is from Bangladesh, and we lovingly call them “extra granddaughters”.  Amy was looking for housing for this summer between her junior and senior years of dorm living.  We asked her to come and live with us, and also help us a little as we are slowing down in our old age.  Amy is going to help me ...
