Girls


They were doing their little clappy songs. Actually, the quilt show doesn't have much use for kids. It seems as though they would WANT to encourage DAUGHTERS to come to their little get togethers. I say little. I guess it was an international thing. What better way to insure the selling of $12.00 a yard fabric in the future, but to snag little girls into the love of making quilts? I think it was a good thing for our daughters (4) to see fabric, embroidering, handwork, needles, love of crafts, handmade purses, old tablecloths, BEAUTIFUL quilts and be happily prompted to love things like this. Girls are to grow up to desire to be keepers at home, an undone quilt would do just that! Why would they want to work, when they could stay home, have kids, and sew purses?

Does that mean that poor Lydia did not get to see the beautiful quilts? Poor thing, well it looks like she had fun with the Kelly Girls.

Lydia got to see the quilts, too. She was with me.......hmm, about 1/2 the time. (I saw maybe 10 kids in the whole place.)

You would think so... I am glad you were smart enough to have Lydia come with you! :)

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
