Blast from the Past

,

In 1972 we went to the Grand Canyon!That is me in my favorite outfit. I remember it well. The top was reversible and was a blue chambray on one side and the red bandana print on the other. It had matching red bloomers. I remember one summer when we stayed with my grandmother I wore it every day. She put it through the wash and I didn't get it back until it was time for us to go home. She HID it because she didn't want me to wear it all the time. Sigh. The memories.We purchased a scanner last week! I've been scanning some old family slides.

This summer we watched my two oldest grand kids one day a week. Towards the end of the summer they started making projects on their own in the sewing room. They made lots of little projects from my scrap basket including pillow cases and tiny quilts
Here’s the layout with all but one block done. I’ll finish that last block when I get more of the baby poop green/mustard fabric. I put out the call and the internet provided! This top will be finished soon! This is a remake of an 1870s
I’m finally getting around to putting these stars together. I made the stars a few years ago and have been on the hunt for the perfect setting fabrics. These @carolynfriedlander prints are the perfect match for the 1800s reproduction prints in
