Friday Finish!

Can I just start out by saying "Thank You!"

For sunshine.

Bluejays.

Flowers.

Thunder that shakes the house.

Rain.

Worms.

Air conditioning.

Children.

Books.

Birthday cake that stays moist a long time.

Love that lasts.

Amen.

As you can see, I've been working on the quilt top.  Vintage love with an obsession for bright, happy fabric from today.  This has been fun asking the quilt what color should come next and then letting the vintage goodies tell me which pattern I should use.  Pairing it with a fq from the stash I've bought over the last year.  Can you see the ones from Heather Bailey and Jennifer Paganelli?  Any others in there your might recognize?  Not that I'm a fabric snob.  But it so much fun to see the lovely and fun prints from so many years ago matching up so beautifully with fabrics from today!  I love the continuity of the craft and creativity.

Generations holding hands in a vibrant, exciting and delicious new way.

I am still woking on the memory quilt.  Cutting furiously and piecing carefully.  Denim is a hard material for my hands to work with and I have to stop often to rest them.  I'm such a wimp!  LOL

My Friday Finish is just three rows on deposit for the rest of the quilt.  Not sure where it's going or what it will be used for.  Thankful for thrifty men and women who didn't throw such vintage treasure into the trash when they were done with it.  Loving the new fabrics that come out and make me smile and my heart beat faster at how breathtaking and fun they are.

Head on over to Amy's for Friday Finish.  I can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to this week!
