This is the books I'm working from, the stories are great in it as well.
I found this one on ebay and a great deal, this book sells for 28.00.

A hobo quilt would be fun to do too! I collected hobo symbols many years ago for another project. What's the name of the book?
buddy's mom, I would LOVE to see pics if you have any!![/QUOTE]

buddys mom OH WOW all those little pieces.. swoon I am tired from thinking about you cutting and cutting and oh my is all I can say.

love the farm animals the pigs are super cute. um elephants and farm animals? is this a.. animal quilt lol? and shabby is always so ..cozy makes you think of a cup of tea instantly. I have my fabrics.. want to see your fabrics twinrivers or want to see just like the one I based it all off of? probably be a teapot quilt. as that is what you wanted. wait its going to be buildings.. yup thats what you wanted.. no? ok .. not telling you then. no big peaks. sure hope I am right on with this. shaking in my boots! (wait I dont own boots).

OK smarty with the Florida picture outside in that pretty red chair. love red chairs! we have a balmy 12 this morning. and a high of 24 expected. almost get out those flip flops.. nice to think of warmer weather though but think today is an inside day for me. quilting all day long with a nice cup of joe.

Nexxus who makes that pretty mushroom toadstool fabric? I love it and well need some for my very own.

I am loving the fabric choices everyone is making, only problem is, it makes me want to shop. lol I can't wait to see all of the fabrics become quilts, so exciting.

My partner, buddy'smom, is doing an incredible job and I am overwhelmed. I love civil war and can't wait to see it all together.

I loved the Florida photo also, except I wouldn't get any sewing done because I would want to daydream (catnap) too much. It is a sunny and warm 16 here in Texas this morning and will shoot all the way up to 30.

Have a great day everyone!

I am down to three patterns for my scrap quilt to Linnie. I have sorted out a bunch of fabric into bins that won't fit in cupboard so have to do some rearranging of where I put stuff so I can keep them seperated out. I have the dining room clean, the closet cleaned, the living room cleaned, my sewing area is a little cluttered because I found stuff to finish up and the scraps are sitting there, resorted what is left for ufos, maybe she wants an applecore scrap quilt, not it is her colors. Trying to finish up the garage today where all the fabric is. Almost done sorting those magazines that I am going to pass on to others so they can enjoy. Whew, I am tired and still have three quilts to get quilted today so I can play with the patterns that I have an idea to do.

Love your fabric choices! They are so pretty and unique. Your quilt is going to look great! I could envision an off-white or beige colored background fabric with all of them. Can' wait to see it completed!
