New quilt and a baby blessing dress.

I got the hidden cottage vintage Christmas craft boutique hosted at my home, then it was onto the quilt I needed to get done for granddaughter Mayley's first birthday. Then there was a blessing dress for our newest grandchild to sew.   I was thrilled to get to do this again. These sweet babies are so wonderful.  I think that is the 10th one I have made for a granddaughter.  (we now have 15 little girls to spoil, and very soon 8 grandsons)

 These pictures were taken with my iphone so they are kind of blurry.  I have not blogged in so long, I am wanting to get back into it.  I am not even sure that very many people are still blogging

Random Vintage Stuff!

It's all about my love for all things vintage.  

A Vintage sign made by me from an old board found out in the desert!

 Remembering all the embroidered doilies. This one probably made for the back of a stuffed chair.  Remember when cedar chest were full of this stuff?

A very vintage icon here.  I could not believe I was standing next to it.  The Oscar Mayer Wiener mobile!  WOW!

A very old copy of  the book Peter Pan

An old vintage cross-stitched doily

a wonderful canape set just right for making hor'duerves in the sixties

This comes from the 1970's Pfalsgraff  pattern called yorktown.  This is a piece left from the dishes we started out with 36 years ago.

 I am really getting hooked on the quilting. I am learning more each day about piecing and machine quilting.  I have so any other projects to complete.  I have craft fairs coming up so I really need to be crafting for the booths, BUT I can't stop planning and thinking about my next quilt!   Signed. Someone who is getting a new addiction!!
