Some of My Favorite Things..

Since I have been bragging to myself on using my favorite fabrics, might as well brag out loud...it is more fun.  I have decided to use the Nicey Jane fabric below on my Sunshine on a Cloudy Day....When this fabric first came out, Heather Bailey made a small UTube to announce it...Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey.  Not only did I love the fabric...holding it to my heart and buying too much of it, but I loved the cute little video clip with the catchy music and the fabric...check it out..

 Next up is the finished Indian Hatchet stroller quilt...

 I was going to do a quick quilting job here until Dora commented that it would be fun one to quilt.  Now she not only does amazing quilting..but she does it on a treadle machine...wow...I am awful at freemotion quilting...I did think I would try something new since this quilt was so small...I am delighted with the results.  Also...yeah me...used this cute backing I had been hoarding for awhile:)  I quilted this at our Sit and Sew yesterday...Alas, I had to cut my time short with the big bad CR (concussion recovery) relapse again.

 Rummaging around in a closet, I came upon this stamp basket quilt, which I remember hanging over the piano at our home wedding reception.  We got married in 1980 so I think that this pattern must have been in style in 1979.  I still have the stamps somewhere.  Hand quilted in the colors of the year and well worn as my children grew up.  Notice in the background my new bottle tree...it is a sucker from the old fallen one...lucky me..

PS  Pearlie...I want to thank you for the nice comment you left on my recycled bags, but I could not find an email for you....
