My three daughters and I were invited to a Little House on the Prairie party this past weekend. It was held out at an old ranch near the mountains. It was a lovely party with old fashioned food, games, crafts... The children looked so cute dressed up in their bonnets and dresses. Near the end the hostess talked a bit about quilting. She had these lovely little quilts displayed - she had made them all from the book Prairie Children and their Quilts.
She then gave each child a quilt specially made for them! I have 3 daughters so we came home with 3 quilts!!!
This one was for my youngest. She's 18 months old and just loves dolls. This quilt is perfect for a doll quilt.
Daughter #2 received this one - we plan to make some checkers and play.
My oldest daughter received this one. What special and lovely gifts! The party itself was a gift. What a beautiful day to remember

What a fantastic idea! What a special event! I love them all lined up on the clothes line between the trees. I'd love to go to that kind of party myself.
Hi!

Wow, what a great way to spend the day! I can't think of better party favors either - beautiful little quilts.
What a great idea for a party and educational to boot. I loved the idea of the little quilts, how generous.
That is some party! Darling little quilts! I am sure you are all thrilled!
Makes me want my dd to be younger so we could do that. --um NO. But I will put it in my head for a party if she has a daughter.
The quilts are lovely. And, I am sure your daughters will appreciate them.
This is my first visit -- nice blog. It was mentioned on smallquilts yahoo group so you may have several of us popping by to see what's up. I'm glad I did.
