Today's forecast is for 109 degree record breaking high temperature!
It is definitely time to "play inside"! We had a buffet of cool salads for our supper last night....and tonight may be sandwiches....too hot to cook!
My energies turn to quilting when I can't get out of the house....(though a movie could be a good idea! theaters are so air-conditioned!)
My friend Liz brought this antique quilt top to "share" with us last night. She found it in flea market. I think it is called "Russian Sunflower". It definitely deserves to be quilted!
The fabrics are from the 1930's.

My flea market find was this doll cradle...not too old but perfect for when those little granddaughters come to visit.
A pile of scraps and "Triangles on a Roll" (paper piecing guides) are the beginning.....
and after a few quiet hours, a doll-sized quilt top is ready!
[The heat is having it's effect again...LOL! Of course, with twins, I will have to make several quilts for multiple dolls....I'm sure it will not be a bother!]

What a lovely old quilt.
And the fun of making doll quilts - a little girl(s) can never have too many doll quilts.
Wow - the temperatures - glad it is cooler here - but I won't tell you how nice and cool, or you might cry.
The antique quilt top is gorgeous! The colors are still so vibrant! And your little cradle and quilt are precious! Stay inside and stay cool! ♥ I hope the heat breaks soon! ♥
