I'm still contemplating my RSC project for 2017 and I really want to use up some scraps. Bowties may be a good one for that. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

I want to make a vintage linen project but most of my vintage linens aren't cutters so I'm afraid to cut into them. Maybe I'll start using them and stain them up so I'll feel better about cutting them up!<br /><br />Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793711897790110579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-26941758578017298522017-11-19T06:58:03.355-07:002017-11-19T06:58:03.355-07:00I hope this week has more smile-inducing moments! ...I hope this week has more smile-inducing moments!

My thoughts were more along the lines of remembering past vintage linen workshops and projects and wondering if anyone still did such stuff. I guess you answered my question!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365095115416468818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-41471782020439114262017-11-19T04:58:34.470-07:002017-11-19T04:58:34.470-07:00Love your "dark days" quilt--right in li...Love your "dark days" quilt--right in line with my mood lately--being the dark side of the Moon.

I'm so sorry for all the losses you're suffering. It is that time of life for many of us I'm afraid. Meanwhile,feline cuteness and tulips!

The tulip quilt is so lovely and I'm happy to see your old linens in a new life. My dear Polish grandmother taught me how to crochet those lace edges on hankies. I wish I still had some of them.PaulaB quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850498636712774853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-48491179059625475622017-11-18T10:11:13.410-07:002017-11-18T10:11:13.410-07:00So sorry for the loss of your beloved neighbor.

Although, that's the way it is with loss... we either aren't able to quilt at all or we sew our tears into every stitch.

I showed them to my DH who laughed :) Our kitties give us so much pleasure, don't they?<br /><br />I really like the tulip quilt. Did you use a particular pattern for that? It would be great for my softer, more pastel strip scraps. Looks like each piece is 2.5" wide, right?<br /><br />I'm so sorry for the loss of your friends. I hope that fond memories give you some comfort at this sad time.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-14049768442228802222017-11-18T05:19:22.594-07:002017-11-18T05:19:22.594-07:00We have attending a funeral in every month so far ...We have attending a funeral in every month so far this year. Some of our life-long friends and Terry's friends from school and past employments have died this year. They have all been about his age and it has really upset him. It' been very dreary here in Northern Indiana too with the sun rarely showing it's face. Your tulips quilt is so pretty and I can tell the cats love your quilts!<br /><br />Hope the coming holiday week is sunny at your house.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-18169029929201517602017-11-17T22:42:22.214-07:002017-11-17T22:42:22.214-07:00I'm sorry to hear about your dark week/month. ...I'm sorry to hear about your dark week/month. By the end of your post, though, I was greatly cheered by that burst of tulip loveliness. Then I felt bad for Darla and Alfie given how much glue you would have had to use to get them into those adorable poses. Let's hope for a cheerier holiday season.Sally Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412466214275694996noreply@blogger.com
