East and West






I use the term North and South/ East and West ALOT when I sew.
The bottom picture is North and South.......
but when the quilt curtains are hung in their rightful place,
they will be
East and West.
I am enjoying this quite a bit.
When I'm done with this project,
I hope to start another one right up.
I LOVE quilty things.
I tend towards scrap-quilts........nine patch,
plain quilts.
Nothing fancy.
I think scrap quilts are the best because there are memories all sewn in.
They tell a story.
Random people know parts of the story because they just might have a
dress,
skirt,
apron,
or jumper.............
and they can see *their* scrap
in the quilt.
I also tend to like scrappy quilts because it is a waste
to throw pieces of fabric away.
If it can't be made into a yo-yo,
or a Mum-bunny,
or a quilt piece,
then maybe it can be torn and tied, to be rolled into a ball,
for a rag-rug.

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
