First I want to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone that has stopped by on my day of the
Quilt maker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour.
You left such nice comments!
I have not had the time to respond to all of them, you completely overwhelmed me!
It was so nice to know that the block and quilt were so well received, thank you for your kindness.
I will be drawing a name for the magazine on Friday.
Anyone that left a comment with a contact email address will be in the drawing!
Now on to some new stuff.
You all know that I have been cleaning out my dad's house and getting it ready to sell.
I found a few things I thought I would share with all of you.
There are more things but no photos of those yet!
I have come to realize that my maternal grandmother was a quilter.
I found this gigantic yo-yo quilt while cleaning in the basement that I am assuming was made by her. Each yo-yo is about the size of a quarter and there are thousands of them.
I need to spread it out and get a better photo but you get the idea.
Then I found this amazing old cookie jar that is a cat head.
I love it!
A good friend suggested I put it in my sewing room and keep my buttons in it.
I don't think I have enough buttons, but maybe thread!
I also found this old wooden puzzle that my uncle made for us when we were kids.
I guess I liked making quilt designs even as a child!
WQ (wooden quilts) for the technologically challenged? maybe?
I still have a little bit of work to do going though all the boxes we brought home,
but I am making progress.
This is what my living room looks like right now.
But it's ok because I have cats like Aiden here that love me unconditionally!
Have a wonderful day!
~XOP~
