Takin' a break...

Drawing

My blogging has come to a standstill. I'm still making my rounds, popping in to see what everyone else is up to. I've just run out of steam so taking a break. Thanks for all the inspiration fellow bloggers - keep at it! See you soon, xo s.

Oh, the drawing above is by Miss Z. If you look closely you'll see a someone inside the figure. I'm not sure if that was intentional or if there was a decision to make her person taller?? I do wonder though. We looked through her baby album recently and watched some video recently of when she was a baby. She tells me that when I was a little baby, I was in her tummy and that she looked after me! Perhaps in another life?

True Loves Wednesday on Thursday: Hand-Made Quilts

Here are some more details from the quilt my Grandma made for me:

I love how in every quilt she made, every piece of fabric has a story.  Most of the fabric in her quilts were from dresses and other things that she made.  My Grandma belonged to a quilting group.  A couple of the members owned large quilting frames.  They would rotate whose house the frame would be set up at and would rotate whose quilt they would work on.  I think they would meet once a week when there was a quilt on the go.  Their stitching was impeccable.
