Vintage Finds...

I am having such fun working on Buttermilk Basin's 'Vintage Tree Farm' quilt...growing trees...and building trucks!
 I decided to work on this in pieces...Hand stitching the truck onto a smaller section of the quilt is a lot easier than working with the whole quilt...
 I'm hoping to finish stitching the truck today...:o)) I will keep you posted...

And on another front...."SCORE!!" :o))

My eldest daughter asked me to keep my eye open for wooden wine boxes...she has a Pinterest Project in mind...or at least she did!  It's been over a year but I finally stumbled across TWO!
Look at the Wine stamp...Cook Street Village!  All three daughters lived in an apartment right in Cook Street Village on Cook St. in Victoria while attending University...This will be a nice keepsake of 'the good ol'days'! I would have to say that this was MEANT TO BE...and at $2.50 each, it was a "SCORE"!!

I can't wait to see what she does with them!

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Stitching!~P

  4. That is a good idea to finish the applique before you finish the piecing. It looks like you're almost done!

  9. That is really coming out nicely, I doubt I will have time to make any this year and don't want to rush them.

  13. I love your Christmas tree farm quilt! My husband used to work harvesting and pruning Christmas trees in Montana. He cut enough to fill three semis. I will interested to see what your daughter makes out of the crates!
