Thanks Polly!
I'm ordering the book today from Amazon.com.

Happy Birthday, Delaney! How wonderful and what a special miracle.
Gastric bypass and age 41? Wow. Why didn't she just test shark cages
to traumatize you? Mercy. So very glad both are doing well but I suspect
that adventure just about turned you white-haired and it will be a while
before you have recovered.
The Carol Burniston book is Wonderfully Whimsical Quilts.
Baby Delaney would be finishing up her education at Oxford before
receiving her quilt if you attempted to needle-turn appliqué. Let us try
to remember which fusible has been recommended here recently. The one I
used is okay but I think there's a better one. I fused the bodies *And*
put a short tight machine stitch around the edges too. ( We know what
babies do to their quilts.)
I expected to be bored to death with all those legs; actually they were
just plain fun. I stitched a long skinny black tube, turned it and cut it
into sheep-length legs + allowance for hem. Baby won't be able to gnaw
one off and they darned sure won't come loose in the laundry.
You will truly enjoy the book. It has many quilts calling to me; I
think the one on the cover is next. Polly

I love the quilt! My DD just had a baby girl yesterday! And I must make
that quilt for her! Which book of Carol Burniston's has the pattern?
Polly you make the most fantastic baby quilts!
The baby's name is Delaney, 6 lb. 9 oz. My daughter had gastric bypass
surgery two years ago, lost over 160 lbs., and is 41 yrs old. So there
were some high risk factors, but, the baby is perfect and mom is doing
great! Only one sibling, a 16 yr old brother. Was she a surprise? Oh,
yes! She's my 12th grandchild, makes an even dozen.

The sheep appliqué design is by Carol Burniston; can't take credit for
that happy. Our own Kathyl sent me the book because she knows I do
quilts for needing little folks. Wonder where our Kathyl is? Do you
reckon she's having another wedding? Polly


"Patti (formerly) in Seattle" Polly, Polly, Polly! This quilt is just
too cute for words - I just
love it!! It's been a while since I've been here to look at all the
photos and read the posts, and this just did my heart good!! I think
Mr. Esther does, indeed, need the quilt for his easy chair and
afternoon naps! Beautiful....

Polly, for some reason it seems that most pictures show up blurry on my
computer. I would love to see the sheep quilt but it is blurry, so could
you mail it to me so I can really check it out?

I think Jenn and Webshots are doing the best they can with the photographer
they have to deal with. I've sent the pictures straight on to Barbara;
maybe they'll be better that way. Methinks I bought the wrong camera. I
thought this one would be 'fool'proof but apparently not. Polly

Polly, I have a feeling she's going to say they're still blurry! Her post sounds like a realllllly good beg to
me! But then, she's been trained by some of the best!

Ah now, Louise. How could you suspect Barbara? Just look at that sweet
innocent face. Polly

Those are the ones you have to be most careful of!

Love the idea of the "I used a very thin fleece for the pink and it is just
ahhhh"
Hope you don't mind if I copy the idea.

I am just about to make a 'lamb"and green quilt for him. Colours selected by
his Mum.

These sheep are all so comical - each one will make you smile...Enjoy
the views, jennellh

Oh my yes. That's a success worth repeating. Please do iron the lightest
fusible you can get your hands on under the fleece before you cut to keep it
from fraying/fuzzing at the curly curving lamb edges. You don't have a hope
of turning under or you'll get a fat lumpy border at best. Every one who's
seen these funny sheep has had to touch the soft call of the fleece. Di,
please do show us your lamb and green. Polly

Thanks for that advice Polly, much appreciated.
