Special Delivery

As a fan of Baltimore quilts for many years,

and always keen to my collection of books on this subject.

I came across a book that I have wanted for many years,

as it is now out of print such books are hard to find.

 Imagine my delight as I found a copy of Elly Sienkiewicz,

 Dimensional Applique.

And as promised it is in great condition

 (like new) arrived within a week.

 

It now feels quite at home with my other EllySienkiewicz books.

What’s in a name

Lately I have been asked on many occasions,

about where the name Frances Lilly came from.

It started me wondering where the names for blogs,

 online shops all get their names from and who comes up with them.

Mine has come from my paternal grandmother. 

She had such a beautiful name and I thought it would be a lovely way to remember

 her by as she played such a large part of my childhood.

I remember this chair as a child and it has being living at my home for quite some time.

It is too fragile to sit on but is great for draping quilts over.

This chair is one of many items that were Nana’s that are now part of our home,

from furniture to kitchen items that are very much treasured.

I wil try to include some of them in future postings.
