After many months, I made it up to the large hospice thrift on Highway 50 in Placerville, California. I purchased a batch of China dessert plates, and sewing patterns. Mother's Day belated present to myself and destined for my project box. 2004 Phil Beaver Designs applique Hen & Sunflower Mini-Quilt.
Design: Fundamentals is the art class I am on waitlist for the fall session. It isn't the end of the world trying to register for a college class that is full, it just means you have to wait to begin the class.
Still in the throes of wedding prep. The future MIL and I have been buying secondhand China dinner plates, dessert plates, and champagne glasses. The last of the bride's fruitcake has been baked. While I could bake more loaves, our weather is warming up I then avoid using the oven.
I could not pass up these flower quilt blocks offered on my fav auction site. I ended up paying less than $3 per block (including shipping cost) for the lot of 28. Definitely vintage fabric flower centers but I am unsure which era.
After I whip together the National Park quilt, I will begin prepping these blocks for a quilt. They are varying sizes. Rather than trim down the largest ones, I will add fabric borders to the smallest ones.
Until next time,
Tami
