The ingredients for a fun day:
Add a dose of cute bluebirds..
..plus 5 ounces of sweet fabrics and trims...
..and a pinch of charm..
...plus yummy treats...
..add in one plus one = two funny girls eating yummy cake...
..and add one more funny girl eating yummy cake...
..plus a group of zanny gals who are just a bunch of Chatty Cathy's...
..and you will hands down have a wonderfully fun day!L to R: Miss Jean, Nikki, Elizabeth, Pam and me.
Miss Jean and her BFF Nikki and I signed up to take Elizabeth and Pam's class at Thimble Creek this past Friday. We had so much fun and below is the pennant banner that Elizabeth and Pam taught us girls to make. I think we actually visited, ate cake and laughed more than we sewed - but there is no crime in that! Pam made her secret recipe Orange Cake and I am telling you what, it was the most moist cake I have ever tasted. She pinky swore to never give out the recipe either. Pinky swore! No way, no way, no way is she sharing!
This is my finished piece and I just love it! Mr. Janome was not behaving during the class, but I managed to finish it up when I got home that night.
It is just perfect for the guest room!
Now I have to share with you the necklace that I bought awhile back from Debbie at My Shabby Roses blog. She made it using bits and bobs of vintage jewelry. (I have it on in the girl group photo). What grabbed me was the green color. Thank you, Debbie, I LOVE it!!
Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your picture, you are so cute!!! You guys must have had so much fun. If I lived close I would come too.!!

That is such a darling banner. I loved seeing it. Are the little bluebird pieces fabric by the yard, or did they scan and print vintage prints onto fabric? Thanks for sharing it with us. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteHi Adrienne - the bluebirds are actually copies from vintage cards that were copied on paper and then sewn on to the fabric.

ReplyDeleteMy nickname in elementary and high school was Chatty Kathy. Now days a lot of people don't know about Chatty Kathy dolls, therefore the title is lost on them. I loved that you used the term. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
