Kit, Chloe and Louise
These three little gals have been on my mind for a looong time. They've finally made it out of my head here for a little debut. Kit, Chloe and Louise are three best friends who are up for all sorts of adventures and hijinks. What kind of gals are they? Well for one, these are the kind of girls who know how to stitch in a ditch.

Hilary they are wonderful.I hope you are thinking of some companion dolls to go with this set.
I just finished reading Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson,it's about a sixteen year old girl homesteading in Montana.Great story and quilting was a shared pastime in it. Ginny

Posted by: Kate | Feb 1, 2008 10:13:37 PM
not too terribly limited, there should be enough for everyone interested, but we're not going to reprint them when they run out. at least not any time soon. we just can't afford to keep everything in the shop in stock.
Posted by: hillary | Feb 2, 2008 8:44:29 AM
Way too cute!! This are a must have!
Posted by: Becky | Feb 2, 2008 7:27:33 PM
I just saw your little friends stitching at a quilt frame and loved it. Today my friend Ali invited us to her house to quilt--a bonus get-together. We are in a quilt group of seven women who get together every month. Three of us were able to come to quilt with Ali today--she made soup and homemade bread and jam for our lunch. It was such a great time--good for our spirits kind of an afternoon! Then this evening I see your 3 quilters! Love it!

I am getting on the mailing list RIGHT now!!
Posted by: Allison | Feb 10, 2008 8:26:20 PM
Where may I purchase the three girls at the quilting frame. Also I would like to have permission to use the photo at a Children's Fiber Arts Festival as my introduction to interest in quilting.
I would appreciate your response.
Thank you
