Flashback Friday

I started quilting about 30 years ago, but by then I had already been sewing for quite a few years. This was my first sewing machine, a high school graduation gift I received in 1963.



My nephew has been putting some old slides onto a CD for me and he sent me this sneak peek of what he's found on those slides. I don't remember seeing this picture before, but it sure brings back many good memories from that little corner of my childhood bedroom.

  2. Blast from the past! See that waste basket in the corner? I covered a can (maybe a potato chip can) with construction paper & pasted my friends pictures all over it. Memories of the hot dog trick on that round vanity mirror. Fun memories.

  3. I knew you'd spot that waste basket! I remember the hours we spent playing with paper dolls on that bedroom floor with Susie and Diane -- and how we all fought over Monica ;)
