Sewing is the Charm

My sister's neighbor fixed my lawnmower...parts and labor...no charge.
She offered that I make his nine year old daughter a quilt for her doll.
I hope that a nine year old still has dolls...He said she would love it..so I started it tonight.
I have tons and tons of charms cut from scraps of other project..TBTG
Since the children are asleep, this was relaxing.
I did it instead of reading Widow book number 6 or a book on ALS..
Good choice, Diane..

I am taking grief notes from the books I read.

"My grief lies all within, and these external
manners of laments are
Merely shadows to the unseen grief that swells
with silence in the tortured soul"
William Shakespeare

"I measure every grief I meet with narrow probing eyes.
I wonder if it weighs like mine.
Or has an easier size."
Emily Dickinson

Then these great music videos...love!
To Sail the Sea....by the Figs
One of the girls killed in the movie theater was part of this group.  They wrote the song for her.

Playing for a change
World wide music..just wonderful

What little girl doesn't want a dolly quilt . . . and it probably doesn't matter if she has a doll or not! It looks cute!

Thanks for the links to the great music! I love the G.D. one - awesome.

Even very old girls like doll quilts.
The songs look intriguing, will listen soon.
