Since it was the first weekend of the month, I worked at the shop all weekend. And Sunday was our Civil War Sunday gathering. (These little dittys belong to my husband from his Civil War Reenactment days.)
I made an attempt at a Civil War themed display this month. Here are my Underground Railroad blocks up on the design wall along with two little Civil War Uniform jackets that were made by a customer of ours as Halloween costumes for her twin sons. She let us borrow them, and I thought they made cute props :)
Some of the ladies showed projects that they are stitching on. Missy completed this section of her Cathedral Window quilt in these beautiful muted colors.
Joan let me take a picture of her completed first block from Blackbird Designs', A Cold Wind Blows. She's doing this hand applique with some wonderful reproduction fabrics. Then...Update Alert:
I came home from work to half a kitchen! Bob has been working like crazy on it, and things are really coming together. We'll be cooking before you know it!Enjoy the day!
