mom and jana had given me the kit for my birthday.
a picture of a few things i got at a sale yesterday. it will probley all go to the shop except the soap dish. it has my father in laws initials so i may send it to him with a piece of soap. the candy? dish is so pretty, i had to show you some of the detail on it. the little mouse i think is for receipts..its really cute but then again i think mice are cute...

Your quilt is really gorgeous! It's such a wonderful accomplishment to finish a big project! Fun finds and precious baby! Sounds like you had fun! Thanks for the giveaway, Jody...you are always so sweet. I made pillow covers for my throw pillows that turned out good. I may make another one today! I like just making the covers...I have so many pillows! Happy weekend!

ReplyDeletecute little fellow you have there, and I love the footed dish!
Your quilt is beautiful and would look great on a wall. I love that cute mouse too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 4 generations all going to see a movie together. I love that movie Ice Age and bought for the grandkids. Cute grandkid in the picture.
It would be difficult for me to name my favorite thing I made because I put my heart and soul in every thing I make but quilts, rugs and cross stitch probably would be all my favorites.
Have a lovely weekend. JB
What a beautiful quilt! I so admire you quilters. That little candy dish is wonderful!

Summer vacation from teaching 9. my car 10. my new floors (refinished maple.)
ReplyDeleteI love the soap dish--I like antique things like that. My sister has been finding quite a few as she cleans out the attic of our family's centennial house. I don't much care for the old furniture--I like the dishes and I love the primative things we have found in the barns. I can't think of just one favorite thing I have made--so many. Afghans for each child and grandchild. A really great cross stitched picture, done in shades of gray, that looked exactly like my then 4 year old grand daughter--it hangs in her bedroom and--all the poem blessing prayers I have written and then cross stitched for each grandchild's first birthday. They still have them and some of my grandchildren are in their late twenties. Guess those were my favorites because it took creativity of the mind and hands.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt. You find the best treasures. The hunt is always such fun but the score is even better.
