I Spy - Heirloom

This week started off pretty good.  The weather has been pleasant, we have even had some afternoon rain showers.  I was tiptoeing through the tulips even.  Oh wait, IF we had tulips, the lovely horrible, rotten, no good, very bad deer would eat them all.  So yeah.
Remember when I told you that Christy and her Mad Mind always came up with the hard prompts.  Well Heirloom is one of them for me.  I wracked my brain on this one.  I even tried "thinking outside the box", maybe I could have some hair looming in on someone.  But no, I realized I do have an awesome heirloom so you are in luck.  
HEIRLOOM
This is a quilt that my mom made for me when I had my daughter.  (31 years ago)  The story behind the fabric used for the southern women is that my dad was on a mission for our church in North Carolina.  While he was there, he picked up all the different fabrics for my mom.
My mom hand quilted every single inch of this quilt.  Back then they didn't have the fancy dancy sewing machines that would do all the hard work for you.   

This is a close up of all the minute details of the stitches

MY CHOICE

On Saturday there was a little festival in a small city by where I live.  I didn't take this picture, but it was taken with my camera so it counts.  Plus, I'm one of the hosts so I can do what I want.  I kid, I kid.  

I know, this is where you all think I should be.  I did quiet my cellmate into submission tho.  

And just to prove how wild and crazy I can get, when I'm not taking the shots, please enjoy the following video.

F.Y.I.  I would never have made it as someone living in the 1800's.  

Now come on.  Link up.  It's fun
