Some sewing finishes

I've been stitching a lot this past week and finally finished the desert quilt that my friend requested for her new winter home in Arizona. I had fun adding little extra touches, like the beading on Kokopelli.

I also finished the spirit dolls commissioned by another friend for her to give as presents. She sent me descriptions of each friend's personality and I used that as inspiration for the dolls. Here are just a few:

This one is for a counselor who

 reaches out a helping hand.

This one, no surprise, is for a golf fanatic.

A veterinarian's assistant calls for animal charms.

The green is for a woman from Ireland who loves to hike (note the yarn trails).

A seed necklace and flowered dress

 are for a gardener's doll.

And I'm lusting after this cactus phone cover that a friend has. I saw it when we had lunch today. Also love her colorful nail polish.

Have a colorful day
