I believe...Lisa,<BR/><BR/>You are not going to believe this. I believe *I* donated the top 3 pillowcases in your pile back in 1998. That's the last time we moved. My grandmother gave them to me (from her extensive 70's collection) when I married in 1988. Since I never showed them in public, I decided that since Grandma was dead and would thus never find out, I dropped them in a donations bin at the Goodwill in Charlotte, NC. Never thought I'd see them on your blog. Probably because back then I didn't know you HAD a blog. Back then I didn't know you. But back then, Grandma was dead and didn't know I was giving you her precious pillowcases.<BR/><BR/>~Joan Parker~Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599647758618747101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942038667935502908.post-53074035594798729312008-02-08T04:43:00.000-10:002008-02-08T04:43:00.000-10:00Have you been to the one behind Wilcox?

I like your jewel box. Fantastic job on the border. I also am very impressed that you used all old fabric finds. Nice going. I too love scrap quilts. I taught a class on the jewel box a few years back. We limited it to two fabrics for the beginners. DH has been organizing all of our 24 years photo's. We just came across those pictures over the week-end. All the girls loved how easy the pattern was.

The leg... you kill me! I've seen little mini lamps like the one from A Christmas Story. Now wouldn't that be funny to pair Fifi up with!<BR/><BR/>Love your Jewel box and LOVE your border is fantastic! I fall into that rut of center, inner border, outer border... and love how you did yours. I so, so, so, so, so, SO love this!<BR/><BR/>I use my own bags when I shop too. I feel 10 feet tall when I walk into my Safeway armed with my own bags. I've written to Safeway in hopes they change from giving 3 cents for reusable bagging to charging 3 cents for using store bags. I hope one day all stores will grow some coconuts like your Papaya's, Whole Foods, IKEA and the city of San Francisco has.<BR/><BR/>Love this post Lisa!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942038667935502908.post-42652315754987497332008-02-07T10:24:00.000-10:002008-02-07T10:24:00.000-10:00What a fun trip!
