Remember the Siggy dolls from this post?
Now that my QAL Bear Paw distraction is done (Quilting doesn’t count…ha,ha!), I have gotten around to sewing dresses for the dolls.
My granddaughters will receive these dolls for their birthdays.
The dolls took me out of my comfort zone, but I think my girls are worth it!

Progress is happening!
I am really loving how my bear paw quilt is looking!
It is difficult to tell from the photos, but the background is a soft grey print, not white.
It has been a challenge for sure. A bit of unsewing has happened. And, apparently, I have an ultra scant 1/4″ seam allowance. “Personal Private Measurement”, as one of my all-time favorite quilt teachers would say. I still cherish Mary Ellen Hopkins book…‘The It’s Okay If You Sit On My Quilt’.
My blocks are a bit larger than Lorna’s pattern says they should be. No biggie…I am making adjustments for that.
I still have the borders to sew. Slow and steady; I’ll get there.
I am linking up at Sew Fresh Quilts.

When Lorna, at Sew Fresh Quilts, generously offered her bear pattern as a quilt a-long, I had to drop all other projects and make this quilt!
I live in bear country, as you can see from the posts here and here.
My progress will be slow, as it is on all my projects. That’s just the way it is.
(Ohhhhh…retirement. Wherefore art thou, retirement?)
Here is my progress so far:
