Vintage Stars

More Camera crud

This is a pug. It's hard to tell I know but it is in fact a pug. A certain pug named Frank.Did you know he sucks his thumb? He cries a lot too. Here he's sucking his right thumb. He'll do it for hours or until we holler for him to stop.

This is a vintage quilt.
I've had it for years. Given to me by my precious MIL

Made up of shirts and aprons.

Each square is hand pieced.

I machine sewed the squares on my Civil War area Singer Treadle.

I think the fabs are all 30's area.

Maybe 50's

60's???

That? Is my toe. I thought at first it was my finger but I haven't had a french manicure in forever. Do my toes really look like my fingers? Don't answer that.

I can see house dresses in these fabs.

Grandpa's shirts maybe?

All the fabs are old.

They're not starchy and crisp

They are well worn

And much loved.

I've finally sandwiched it after adding the turquoise and rust border. I will be hand quilting this precious quilt.

Mango Madness

I'm feeling a little of the blog blues, boredom, blah, meh.

I needed to empty my camera after a photo fiasco and found a bunch of pics that I no longer know what to do with.

For instance. . . .



These were the biggest mango's I have ever seen. Got them at the Farmers Market, which I haven't been to in months.

Also, I am badly in need of a manicure.

When did I put that quilt on the table?

Newest UFO's

Newest UFO's to hit my craft loft. . . (Unfinished objects for those in the know)
Candy Corn!!! Yes I am making candy corn. Lots and lots and lots of candy corn. Forty of these babies at last count. All scented with coffee and cinnamon and grubbied up to scented perfection.

So you gotta check this out.

Fabulous fabric!!!

I feel a new quilt coming on.

Show and tell** chickens

Last Thursday was Show and Tell*Chickens. I didn't think I had any chickens. I do. This is my Chicken quilt. I started this quilt before I owned chickens. I love this quilt. It is not finished but it will be. You know, someday. I call these quilts UFO's. Unfinished objects.

I love this chicken wire fabric. Don't you?

Chicken wire border. Cute huh?
