MOVING DAY! + MUSIC AT GOLDEN YEARS & NEW VINTAGE DOILY AND SLIP QUILT!

All our grandkids have gone now! Bittersweet! We are enjoying a quiet house again though! We will get to see their new location in a couple of weeks when we go on vacation!

Loaded for bear!

A Caravan clear to Salt Lake City, Utah!

Missing these two!

Maurice and & I at our monthly music share time at Golden Years.

Sometimes we loose some of them!

The start of my "New" Vintage Doily & Slip Quilt!

Put together 35  7" blocks sort of Log Cabin style.

Ready to sew the polka dot sash around the outside then, batting and black cloth backing brought around for binding too. On this binding I attached the lace.

Then embellish time. Used lace appliques and trims from old slips from the grand kids dress-up box (which they out grew many years ago)!

And more select pieces from my lace box.

This lace applique is in the center of the little cozy quilt.

This is some close-ups of the lace pieces.

More!

More!

I adore this little basket embroidered piece!

More!

And More!

Well here it is all pinned down ready to hand sew! This little 34" X 46" Lap Quilt will be a nice cozy addition to my cottage, especially now that I have it back again!

Missing my 2 boys!   I invite you again to visit my other sites: www.mcreatesdaily.blogspot.com and Marlynne Snare Folk Artist on facebook. Hope you are enjoying your summer!
