I spent fun day Monday making this little bag ready to pop my next quilt in for Jo's LillyBo Quilt scheme. It really has taken off and Jo has received lots of beautiful quilts, many of which are now being used and loved by the children in hospital in Liverpool.
(Follow this link for more info. . . . LillyBo Quilts)
So on my desk today is the quilt - only partly made - I forgot to collect the wadding from Annie on Monday so it will have to wait until I pop down to hers again.
I liked the little dolly collages so I am putting one in each corner, to go with the one on the bag.
Then I found that I had three little dancing dollies left from the ones I made earlier so I will pop those in the pocket. Some poorly little one will have fun with them, I am sure.
Well, that's me for today.
I hope you are all well and making the most of the bright Summer days.
Thanks for calling by and if linking up with more crafters sounds like fun then pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in!

Oh these dollies are wonderful! They are going to be so loved! I think your quilts are just the best idea. If I had yours and Annie's talent I would love to join in, but sadly quilting is not something I've ever done. I do love looking and admiring, though. Keep up the good work! Julie Ann #12
Just gorgeous!
Well done.
Have a great week.

First, you gals dressed all the children in Africa, now you're covering all the little ones in the Liverpool hospital. You gals are the BEST.
I have a sewing machine, but I don't really sew, unless you call sewing paper sewing. And I don't measure, and don't cut (just tear fabric), so I would make a HORRIBLE quilt. If I had your skills, I would help out, though.
Happy WOYWW from #2.
What a wonderful cause you are supporting with these darling quilts and I love how you have made the bags to match. The little dolly collages and dolls are just adorable and I am sure they will have each child who receives them beaming from ear to ear. Have a great week and Happy WOYWW! Danie #25

No WOYWW from me again this week but just thought I’d pop in and say hi.
Loving the latest quilt (in progress) and the bag and little dolls. You …..and Annie have been a great supporters of the quilt project and you should feel very proud of yourselves.
Happy Crafting!

Fab bag and gorgeous quilt but those dollies! They are fantastic! Love the red headed one at the end - reminds me of little Lexi for some reason.
Thans for sharing such loveliness.

Your quilts just get prettier and prettier. A bit like your view from the kitchen window . I can see why the bird sat for a few minutes admiring the view.

Hi Jo, those little dollies are lovely - and they are a good match for the collaged ones on the bag and quilt ... pretty colours too. Have a great week, Elizabeth x #16
I love the colours you are using there and I know I would have loved a pocket of dollies when I was little. #30
