Oh WOW!!!!!!
Dearest Mom
I started this crazy quilt using up my old doilies and silk ribbon and quickly realised that I was not going to have enough doilies. I asked the girls in my crazy quilting class and Marie said that she had a "few" for me. Marie is one of the most generous girls in the class always sharing her buttons and beads etc. She is also one of the most creative........
I headed off to her house to discover something quite amazing..............................
This is the view from Marie's deck.........................
Marie is a collector extraordinaire................................
............................her home is filled with the most incredible amount of all things beautiful and old.............................
...................... a chandelier bought for $20 at an op-shop..................................
...........................I think Marie told me that this bit of furniture is from a hospital................
..................a gorgeous bit of hand work..................
............... a charming collection of tea cosies on her pantry cupboard...............
..................Marie's kitchen is filled to the brim with vintage kitchen ware...............
...............her beds covered with some magnificent chenille bed spreads................op-shops.........
.................close up................to die for..................
.................this is Marie with some of her chenille dressing gowns..................
........a wash stand - you would love this Mom..................
Marie is very creative - she made this quilt from all sorts of fabrics.........Marie peeping over the top...........
..................close up.......................
...............a collection of hats on a ladder..................
...............rolling pin, anyone??..................
...............beautiful bits and bobs...............
.................Marie in her home.....................
..............gorgeous old cupboards scattered around..............
I have a lot more photos to show you, Mom. I know that you will find it fascinating, I did.
