I've been able to get a start on this weeks clue, but still have quite a way to go (somehow work always gets in the way) - - - tomorrow I plan to spend lots of quality time making more of these beauties!
When I'm quilting I always think of my Grandma Carolyn, she introduced my siblings and I to sewing when we were very young since it was her pastime and her way of making a living as a seamstress at a number of upscale stores in the Twin Cities.
I'm working my blocks up on the beautiful "White" sewing machine she gave me as a graduation present way back in the 70's. It was a used machine when she purchased it for me, and still works great, I just oil it up when needed, keep the lint down, and listen to my fav. book or TV series!
In one of my earlier posts I posted that I'm using scraps for the start of a crumb quilt - I don't have any real plans for how it will look in the end, but I've been adding to the group as I work on all my projects.
Stop on over to Bonnie Hunters site
Quiltville to see how everyone else is doing!
You can see we're all having lots of fun!
WOW! You look just like your Grandma! Great blocks.

Great memories of your Grandma. Your crumbs are very pretty fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI like your greens, and that sewing machine - GORGEOUS! Some of those old ones put the new computerized whirlygigs to shame. ;) Oh, and your crumbs look interesting, too.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have that legacy! Your clue is looking good! I am from Eau Claire!
