Questions?

This photo has nothing to do with this post just

looking for a picture to make it interesting. I

think this one fits the bill. This is Kimberly my

youngest daughter. She graduated from high

 school this year and will be heading to

 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in the fall.

We are so proud of her.

My Collection Day 5

This is my most recent purchase. Vintage LeMoyne Star blocks
purchased on ebay. I think they look great with the acid
green sashing from Judie Rothermel's Sturbridge Village
Christmas. These blocks finish 9" and sashing was cut 2-1/2".

I hope you enjoyed my collection don't forget about

our Summer Star Sew Along starting Friday.

My Collection Day 4

These are the first blocks I purchased, I think again at

Road to California. Churn Dash or Hole in the Barn Door

Whatever you call them they are perfect in blues and

blacks. They finish 5".Quick and easy sashing and a

blue binding and another great piece of the past.

My Collection Day 3

These cute little 9 patches were purchased by friends

( thanks Linda and Cheryl ) for my birthday. What a

great gift! They are 3" finished and I set them with one

of my favorite reds. Sorry it is no longer available.

A simple border and a green binding. Perfect!
