SPRING SALE | maidenbloom fairies


I've been working on a new doll & quilt collection for summer and so, thought it would be nice to run a sale through the 24th of May.  A spring sale to make room for the new collection....
all the dolls are 60% off right now and the baby quilts are 40% off.
Its a great time to find a new snuggle buddy for summer road trips


I'll be posting updates @maidenbloom_dolls
right now I'm working on completing an applique quilt project for a show in October that I hope to participate in.  I also hope to have lots of dolls and other quilts ready for that show.

follow me on Instagram here and Pinterest here to get daily inspiration and updates of progress.
Thanks so much for joining me on this creative journey!

I've just completed and listed two Easter Bunnies for the shops.  They are a week late but there's still time for shipping before Easter.  There is a white cotton bunny and a natural linen.
Last day to ship is April 12.

Hop on over to my shop to see them and visit @maidenbloom_dolls to see more photos.
Also available in my Etsy shop



COMING SOON.... baby and toddler quilts.
Check back for updates.  Hopefully I'll have at least one completed to list this weekend.
I've been diligently working on hand-quilting. ♥

Happy Easter basket making,

MaidenBloom Dolls | new dolls, a bunny and a quilt top


I'm listing two new dolls in the shops today and working on a new collection for release at the end of the month.  I finished a little Tilda bunny doll and its adorable.  I love her pattern for Easter bunnies.  It was super easy to make.  I used her fabric, tiny blue star for this one and I just love the feel of 100% cotton fabric.  The tiny blue stars are on a soft cream background and I think its perfect for this bunny.  I'm going to be making some solid color bunnies soon for Easter baskets.  Hope you'll find one you like.  I used my Bunny Hill quilt top as a backdrop for a lot of the photos.  I really love how this quilt top came together.  I included some basic star blocks and simple 2" borders between the blocks and rows.  I'm going to make a few more rows of star blocks to add to the top and bottom to increase the quilt size.  It's going to be fun hand-quilting this.

Baby Quilts + New Dolls

I'll be working on a photo session and listing a couple new dolls this weekend.  Hopefully by Sunday I'll have them all in the shops.  I think the hardest thing is taking good pictures for the shops.  
I'm also going to be listing a few wardrobe pieces for the dolls.  All can be interchanged between the dolls and during my Instagram photo session I discovered that the little unicorn fairy really looks cute in a floral crown that I made for one of the other fairy girls.

NEW PROJECTS | Tilda Apple Butter fabric and a few new patterns to try

Tilda has just released a new fabric collection that is awesome.  It's one of her best I think.  She also released two new quilt patterns that are just adorable and I had to get my hands on them.
The first one is part of the Bird Pond collection.  I love these fabrics as well.  The colors are dreamy.
