A pretty preview

I hinted a while back that I was working on a little pretty and today I’d like to share her with you. Meet Gretchen, a happy little bear that loves naps. I’ve had Gretchen finished for a while, but her dress was another story. I drafted the pattern by hand and cut it out. And drafted it again and cut it out. And drafted it again. You get the picture. It’s still not exactly what I want, but Gretchen loves it and begged me not to change it. Who am I to tell her no?
 
 
I’ll be listing Gretchen in my shop soon, but I have a decision to make. You see, I thought (as did Gretchen) that she should have a little quilt when she goes to her new home. So, I got out my recently increasing stash of fabrics and made one for her. It’s my very first quilt. It’s blue calico and natural linen patchwork with embroidery on it’s tiny corners. The problem is, I don’t feel like the quilt and Gretchen go together very well. I think she needs a quilt in different colors. So, for now, Gretchen makes her debut sans quilt, but never fear, once my company leaves this weekend, I will return to mini quilt making stealth mode.
 
 
To be continued…
