My heart did a flip when I saw the sewing machine with snow on it. I imagine it was a gonner and you are using it as art...first time I've ever seen this and I like it and wish it were in my front yard :)<br /><br />KellyIHaveANotion ~ Kelly Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368085552525311127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-49847267549413039782014-02-08T13:56:22.499-08:002014-02-08T13:56:22.499-08:00My grandmother bought me a very "fancy" ...My grandmother bought me a very "fancy" dress for my 9th birthday. I felt like a princess in that dress. I have pictures of me wearing the dress and the smile on my face--wow. My mom wasn't happy about the dress. I think I may have been allowed to wear it one more time, for a special school program. Then the dress was gone. Thank goodness I still have the pictures. It was a very, very pretty dress.Joanne Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623855664379207620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-17196232136251560472014-02-08T11:57:09.840-08:002014-02-08T11:57:09.840-08:00She brings back those long ago memories of element...She brings back those long ago memories of elementary school, I really like the way you have incorporated "pieced triangles" throughout, its a very charming quilt.

Wow! We were just talking about this the other day. I love(d) anything with a sailor collar - shirts, dresses - and if it was blue, all the better. I didn't have Mary Jane's until I was in my Aunt's wedding. Saddle shoes until I revolted in high school. :) Snow is one of those things I like for 2 days, then I am done with it. Since we are in the "city" (such as it is, lol!), our sidewalks have to be cleared 24 hours after the snow stops and we live on a corner! So, we have beautifully shoveled walks and snow up to the bumper in the road. The city doesn't have the same requirements for themselves. Aren't birdfeeders the best TV? Stay toasty!Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-14965545185678689742014-02-08T06:47:58.904-08:002014-02-08T06:47:58.904-08:00Oh! she is wonderful.

My favorite dress was a white spaghetti strapped sundress with large cobalt roses that my grandmother bought for me. I now suspect her purchase, as she had a mad obsession with cobalt!

I love how it also has quilting reference with the "pieced triangles" This will be amazing when it is done.Vicki Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756936181545589388noreply@blogger.com
