What did you do before quilting?
Since I started when I was 5, its kinda hard to remember. I have tried all
kinds of other needlework and had continued it until my hands gave out. Now I can't even sew on a button but I sure can run teh SM on my good days : ) Unfortunately I gave almost ALL my work away so i ahve very itle to show for it...cept a few pixs. I do have a piece of: counted cross stitich, crewel, embroidery, a few afghans both knit and crochet, filigree crocheted shawl that I have kept. Don't ahve any sweaters left--and a lot of them were stolen on our one move--my sweaters, kids sweaters, afghans and almost finished counted crossstitch piece. (yes. they did catch and prosecute the theives. They had a real ring set up--we never did get anything back tho) Butterfly (I still have the beaded crocheted Barbie Doll dress with train that I did for DD) "AliceW" wrote in message ...

"Butterfly" wrote in message ... Butterfly (I still have the beaded crocheted Barbie Doll dress with train that I did for DD) Oooooo! I ran across those Annie's Attic crocheted Barbie dress patterns in my craft closet the other day. I must have 30 of them. I got them in the early 90's. If I recall, I got them through the mail, every month. They are so elaborate and so beautiful. I doubt I ever make a one of them. But they were fun to look at again. Cindy |

I used to get Annie's Attic too and love them. Gave most of them to my
newest daughter-in-law for her 7-year-old last fall, but couldn't find the ones I "thought" I had with the Barbie patterns. Maybe I was dreaming I had those, but I sure did tear the place apart looking for them. teleflora wrote: "Butterfly" wrote in message ...

If I recollect correctly this one was in one of those small booklets that
coats and Clark put out. Just had Barbie Wedding and Bridesmaids dresses in it ---or was it just 2 different Brides dresses. I 'added' the beads to the thread before I started the crocheting.didn't like the 'way it looked when I was done with the pattern so I added a train onto the bottom back of the skirt---no pattern just continued the dress crochet pattern. ((Hope this made sense) Now I DO have to get it out and get it 'set up', even take a pix )) I did it when DD was 7/8 whilst I was waiting in DDS and Dr offices (both kids had allergy shots that year) Butterfly "Phyllis Nilsson" wrote in message ...

I should get this out and restarch it and put it "under glass" so it can be
admired like it should.......right now it is wrapped in acid free paper with the rest of DD's Barbie Doll collection. Butterfly "teleflora" wrote in message news:BEqFf.75788$QW2.15321@dukeread08...
