This quilt will be my last post that I will do while I'm in Japan.
Here is my most recent finished quilt.
I made a doll quilt again (yes again).
I got inspired by a Quilter's Newsletter Magazine's article that was about an antique doll and crib quilt and it made me want to have one for my daughter's doll.
Made by hand piecing and quilting.
Here is a picture with her doll and my doll.*S*My daughter's doll is an American Girl doll.
I visited the American Girl Place in Chicago when my son was about 4 years old. Well, of cause he wasn't interested at all.*LOL*
But I loved that place and dream about visiting this store with my little girl one day.
Well, well, finally one of my dream may come true, almost.*S*
We'll be able to visit the American Girl Place in L.A.!
Or maybe we'll visit the American Girl Boutique and Bistro in Dallas this summer!!!! (I can hear my hubby and son screaming "NOooooooooo!!!!!!")
This mean we won't be able to use our PC. Yes, no Internet. Well, sort of....
My hubby has an i-touch and we'll be able to use the internet and e-mail. But I won't be on blogland much.
I'll update my blog and tell you what's going on as much as I can during our travel across country.
Hopefully, we'll be able to settle in California sometime late July.
When I officially start my blog again, I'll have a "back to U.S.A. give away"on my blog.
I'll let you know what I'll be giving away and how to enter for the prize in the near future.
Last but not least, I'll miss you all and see you soon!
Hugs,
Lea
*****************************
ここ最近、ずっと家周りの整理をして忙しいです。
もうすぐ(というのか、今週末)から家具等の荷造りが始まるのですよ。。。あぁ、とうとうか、という感じ。
なので、キルト制作の話は本日をもって暫くお休みにさせてもらう事になります。
今回はドールキルト。
アメリカのキルト雑誌「Quilter's Newsletter Magazine」に写真が載っていたものをレプリカしてみました。
娘が可愛がってるAmerican Girlという会社の人形用に作ったので娘の人形と一緒に載せてみました。ついでに、私のミーコちゃん人形も。このミーコちゃんのお顔はFolk art作家のyukoさんが描いていらっしゃいます。セルやさんのミーコちゃんとは表情が違うんですよ。
ところで、今週末の引越しのためPCが使えなくなります。と言う事はネットも、なのですが、一応ダーがi-touchを持ってるので、それを使ってネットが出来ない事はないのですが、ブログをUPするのは難しくなると思います。出来れば旅の間も少しずつでもUPしていきたいんですけどね。。。どうなることやら。。。
アメリカに戻って落ち着いたら、改めてブログを再開したいと思ってます。その時に、再開記念と言う事でプレゼントを用意したいと思ってますので、楽しみにしててくださいね。
では、しばらくの間ですが、皆さんお元気で。

What a lovely quilt, Lea! I just ordered a couple of books with lots of little quilt projects. I hope to line my hall with sweet quilts like yours.
Wishing you a wonderful trip. Have fun at the American Girl shop. I visited the Chicago shop with my niece. It was a girl's dreams. What a treat for your daughter!
Blessings,
Lea

Leaさん、お元気ですか?
まだ引越しの最中なのでしょうか。久々の『アメリカ』はいかがですか?この長旅の様子も楽しみにしていますね~。
ところで私の日本語ブログですがアドレスとブログ名が変わりましたのでリンクしておきますね。気づいたらで結構ですのでリンク変更しておいてください。
こんな忙しいときに!とは思いますがよろしくお願いします。
また遊びに来ますね~。
Beautiful doll quilt, and the doll wrapper. Regards from Spain
Hi Lea,
Just checking in to see how you are doing and how the move went. This little quilt is adorable, and you did such a great job modeling it with the dolls.
Lea good luck with your move. Maybe your already here in LA. And enjoying our awful hot weather. LOL I love your little doll quilt. It looks so old. Great color choices. The bread books look good too. Are they in japanese?And can you read them??
Leaさん、
今はどのへんにいらっしゃるのかしら?
新天地で元気にされていることとおもいます。
ところで再びなのですが、先日お願いしましたブログアドレスですが、事情があって元に戻しました。
とりあえずLeaさんは何もされなくて結構なので、そのままのアドレスでキープしていただければ幸いです。
それではまた元気な近況を楽しみにしています!!
Lea, I miss visiting your blog! I hope you have arrived safely. Hurry and come back to your blog :) rosemary
