The Dinky Traveler Visits Georgia

Aimee Bishop had a great time being the host to this Dinky Traveler. Or should I say he had a great time enjoying Aimee on her trip to Duluth, GA for a 4 day educational conference. Looks like he wasted no time in figuring out how to order room service.

The Winning Quilt Is....

I am not a quilter, but I do appreciate those who quilt. Sewing is an art and choosing the right fabrics and design is so important in planning the perfect quilt or even the perfect doll. If you ever get the chance to go to the Houston Quilt Festival, go!!!! So many wonderful things to see and then all the great quilts. Tomorrow I will post pictures of the dolls that are entered in the competition.

A car that is quilted?

So many quilts, not enough time

Quilt Market Fun

Nancy from Nancy's Notisons stopped by my booth as she was waiting to give an interview next to my booth at QNNtv.com. We chatted about my patterns and she said a rep from Nancy's would be stopping by. She said she loved my things. It was so much fun to talk to her one on one.

The first Dinky Travler sent out to visit friends on the West Coast, is now missing. We have tried to find him, but to no availe. I only hope he has a good home. This is the new Dinky Travler who just spent some time with Laura Aldridge in Yuma, AZ. It looks like they had a great time. Laura named the Dinky Travler Annie.

The Dinky Traveler Spends Time in Shelby, NC

This Dinky Traveler had a great time with Wanda Fortenberry in Shelby, NC. Looks like tree

A ride on the Merry-Go-Round was loads of fun, especially when you are with Wanda.

Dinky Traveler Visits With Some 5th Graders

This Dinky Traveler was lucky enough to spend time with a class of fifth graders in East Islip, NY. The host for this Traveler was Anne-Marie Orgera. She was kind enough o take lots of pictures and to allow the Dinky Traveler to make lots of new friends and to to learn all about recycling.

Learning to recyle is great fun!

All this stuff can be made into something useful, what can I make?

The Dinky Travler had a great time with the 5th grade class.

Look how many friends one little
