Here are some little treasures that have found their way to my place . . .
My treasured pincushion given to me by Jo Morton, sitting alongside my favourite little cast iron bunny and the extra special bird nest that I found on the ground one day when out walking . . .
My small collection of bits and bobs that I love to have close by . . .
Can you spot my other treasured pincushion sitting on top of the glass jar . . . this one was given to me by Betsy and Carol on our last trip to the US . . . they secretly sat up late one night and made one each for Deirdre and I . . .I just love it to bits!
My collage of odd bits that I've fallen in love with and collected over the years including my beautiful mother-in-laws hankerchief from her wedding day and some cross stitches that she started many years ago and never finished . . .
Some little quilts I have made, including my little log cabin that was one day stolen but returned to me by a very special person who just happened to come across it at a local market . . . on top of my favourite hat box . . .
My shaker box that I have always dreamt of having . . . it came home with me this trip from the States . . . sitting on top of a very special little quilt that a dear friend made . . . she spends most of her time studying penguins way down in Antarctica . . . brrrrr . . . I miss her . . .
A signed antique block by Judie Rothermel whose fabrics I have been collecting for many years . . . surrounded by some left over log cabin blocks made from her fabric range, Rocky Mountain . . .
I love old buttons and books . . .
My extra, extra special pincushion that my youngest daughter Jess made for me a couple of years ago . . it sits on top of my other treasure, my Bernina 1130 . . .
And lastly, the sunset from my sewing room window . . .
I'm sure I've got some space left for some other needful treasures . . . just need to find extra time to go on some more treasure hunts! And ain't that fun!
Until next time,
Leonie - One half of The Quilted Crow Girls!
