Bragging on Momma

I just have to share this wonderful Maggie Walker block of the month quilt that dear Momma finished . 



I have this in my UFO pile . Momma set a goal and worked on her block an hour everyday . It took a year . YES , a whole year . She sent it to Mildred in Tenn. to hand quilt it . It's awesome ! I hope to get back on track one day and have the patience to finish mine . Go Momma !!!!!

I ran errands and went to 145 Art & Design  to fetch up some binding . Orange piece Pretty pink piece ! :)  Noreen , the owner , found 2 pieces to go with it . I really dig the pink .

I love talking to Noreen . I purchased some ticking to make something for the Tin Lizzie to help on the sides . I will have to splain that another day . I'm going down to the sweat shop and cut up my fabric and hopefully ge
