Choosing the Fabric Back of My Quilt

Pin It
This is the backing for MY Quilt. It's been a very long process, but the backing is off to the washer and I'm off to find all the pieces to my quilt stand ? I went to the quilt shop planning on purchasing white for the back, but I love paisley and then pink too... Need say no more.

Quilt Wall - Red, White and Blue Little Quilt

Pin It

Red, White and Blue Little Quilt
Long ago, (so long ago), I did this quilt. When my father was very sick and after he lost his battle, this is the quilt that I worked on. I quilted and quilted it. I filled so many hours. I remember having so much to do and not being able to do anything but sit and quilt on this little wall quilt.Red, White and Blue Little Quilt
It was some months later and I put it in an area quilt show and over heard someone said, "You'd have to be nuts to quilt like that." You know I was, but in it's way this quilt brought me back.
Red, White and Blue Little Quilt

Stitches and more hand stitches.
Red, White and Blue Little Quilt
Years ago, (12 years) this magazine was very popular, and this little quilt of mine was on the cover, a very large honor, for me and dad's quilt. Both hang very proudly in my sewing room, this little quilt of mine.

Dress it UP for a Party - Grandma's Plastic GREAT jewelry

Pin It
There is an annual Gala here at one of our local hospitals, the Mercy Hospital Gala and my husbands company always buys a table (this past Saturday Night). It was very nice to be asked to go this year. I was going through jewelry and started taking pictures for Show - n- Tell Friday.
Grandma's Plastic GREAT jewelry
Long ago my folks were very involved in Eastern Star Chapter ??? At 51, I still don't understand, but they always dressed up, I've had this necklace forever and it goes perfect with a simple dress.
Grandma's Plastic GREAT jewelry
I always think I'm going to wear these, but I've never made it out of the house with them on. The are clips and they hurt. Women before me had stronger ear lopes.
Grandma's Plastic GREAT jewelry
I know in a family you are not to have favorites, but I had a Grandma G who broke the mold. She was one of a kind and this is something she gave me, her charm bracelet with all the grands and greats names and birthdays. I seem to take it out when I miss her.
Grandma's Plastic GREAT jewelry
Grandma G, wore this and I called it her sand paper necklace. So many memories..... I wore my own designed beads and stub earring. But I had a ball going through everything.
