I am glad that LeeAnna asks these questions. It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream? Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home. Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain. Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us. We also got hand-me-downs. We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season. I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me. I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes! Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend. Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home. There were 30 of us all told. 14 of which were under the age of 16. It is lovely to get caught...
It is always nice to see one's own work on display.
ReplyDeleteWhen you look at quilts at a show, do your have some kind of plan? I mean do you look for quilts that are perfect, or pink, or have a lot of embroidery? Do you look for a quilt you wish you had made, a quilt that has a unique technique, or a quilt with a message...
When I go to a quilt show, I grade quilts according to how much I would be willing to pay for them, or if I would love to have them in my home, I also look for craftsmanship and innovation.
