My mother had a lady contact her saying that she had a bunch of vintage goodies. Mary (the lady's) mother taught a home ec class. so she had tons of Rick Rack, patterns, buttons, and many others.
She decided to send it to a good home that would love and enjoy everything to the farthest extent.
Here's only what we can guess is what was the beginning of a children's quilt.
It's a bunch of little hand embroidered animals (swoon)!!
My mother was ever so kind and let me have a few of the baby animal squares for art.
Do you get this warm fuzzy feeling in your heart when a package comes in the mail?

Hey Astrid,
ReplyDeleteSurprise! I'm the 'lady' who sent the vintage goodie package to your mom...although I still prefer to think of myself as a girl. ;)
Your blog entry warmed my heart, and I'm so happy that the box was received with such excitement. I knew those unfinished bits were destined for greatness after all. Plus it was nice comparing embroidery pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marycalarco/5600865969/in/photostream
Love your blog entries, your incredible photos and your smiley Airedale. Please tell your mom I say hello.
