early January Alice sleep over

Alice has been missing from my blog for quite a while..however, she spent the night a while back and played in the scrap bag with the following results:

Alice is now 6 and getting to be quite tall.  Here is a close up of the arrangement:

She did all the cutting up herself..but was not so much interested in the idea of sewing them together.

Also, here is her daddy's baby quilt, all repaired-which went home with her for more fort building fun.

and the pretty faded back side..a pre-quilted fabric ...Nice to know it will now stand up for many more years.  My string quilt is waiting for me to make and attach the binding before I can take a finished photo. And, I have begun working on the applique that is for the new addition on my sidebar-It's All About Me.
I have been knitting too...so despite a busy time at the work mines, I am making time to be creative.
