Another finish for me. I"m doing the happy dance! I"ve been in such a funk lately because I"m so busy with work I just don't feel like I"m getting anywhere! Well here it is - Marcie's Williamsburg pattern done up in completely different fabric! All quilted, bound and washed for that great crinkly old look!
Here it is! My finished mini pineapple quilt! Each block has 45 pieces and finishes at 2" square! Don't look too close - it was a challenge for me, but from far away it looks ok. I love it!
I"m heading home from mom's today. Goodbye to the old and new bridges by her house - you don't see bridges like this in the midwest!
I got my mini pineapple finished! Each block finishes at 2" square and has 45 pieces. The 9 block one is going in a barn-wood frame, but that is at home so you'll have to wait to see that. I had 4 blocks leftover so I"m making a mini quilt out of that one. I made extras in case I really screwed one up for the 9 block - I didn't want to start all over!
And here are some treasures from the Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum. Mom bought them for me but I have to wait until xmas to get them. Isn't the pottery dish wonderful! It is made locally. And the button frame is just too cute! 
Here are some more quilts from the museum, I knew you would enjoy seeing some more!
Mom and I went to the Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum yesterday. Oh what a beautiful building. And wonderful old Amish quilts. The way they had it setup with information was really nice. We had a wonderful time there. Above was my favorite quilt - I just loved the colors, of course pictures don't capture the real beauty.
They also had an exhibit of hooked rugs. Some were new and some were very old. Many I wish I owned!
Here it is finally, a peek at my project I've been working on this week at my mom's! I have 16 more pieces to put on - and it finishes at 2" square! I"m nuts to start this, but I'm not about to NOT finish it now!
Went to the 2 local quilt shops out here in Delaware today! Had a great time - who wouldn't! I got fabric at my favorite store Lil Country Shoppe to make the above pointsetta quilt from Lisa Bongean's new Christmas Book "Primitive Christmas".
Also got some gorgeous Christmas Fabric from Quilters Hive for a wall hanging pattern my mom gave me for Christmas this year. You'll just have to wait and see what it turns into!
Last year on our trip to Paducah Laura and I made a wrong turn and found some unusual yard art. Well I think I have it beat. My mom and I went out to eat yesterday and look at what was along the road to the restaurant. If only that Sunkist can was Orange Crush - we could send it to Bonnie!
