Olympic Curling has reached
the flimsey stage.
(Sorry for the tipsey photo--
I had to take it seated)
I had tried a red border
out first,
but that color looked
like it would overtake
the whole piece.
So, I gambled
that I would have
just enough
left of this really
old green fabric to
eke out the borders
after using part of it
in my blocks...
Yes, just one little
piece left...
;D
I love that vintagey green
a lot...
AND....↡↡↡↡

Yesterday I received a lovely
"Squishy Package" in the mail...
From my good friend,
:)))) {click}
Look at these lovely purple
scraps --actually
big chunks!!
I had just mentioned that I
was lowest on purples and she sent me these...
Along with these two lovely patterns
that I will use for my new long term
project --
My Memory Quilt..
I am going to step out of my
usual "comfort zone" and
try a few of these blocks
that will remind me of
my "growing up"
years...
A sampler quilt, if you will.
and a Long Term project..
Slow and {hopefully} easy...
I have never done a sampler
before and
now seems like a good time to
just make "one" block at
a time, trying to hone
my skills a bit...
[actually a LOT!!].

[Check out her Farm Girl
Vintage blocks--so so
adorable...]
My title will be :
"Je Me Souviens"
(which means
I remember).
French was my first language..
and we only spoke French
in our home
for the longest time..
Aren't these little bunnies
just adorable???
Thank you so much
Dawn for your
generous gift...
💋💜
I love it...

This morning I wound bobbins
and I hope to clean out my machine
and change the needle before
setting it up to machine quilt the
two Dolly quilts...
{ After my little nap, that is}
They are all pinned and ready
to be quilted...
I hope your day is a good one...
