Rhonda-Your miniatures are adorable!! I would never have the patience to work with pieces of fabric that tiny!! Do you paper piece or are you brave enough to cut and piece them that little??

Several years ago I used to piece by hand and I used 3/4" squares. But now I have shortcuts I use called the cut down method that allows me to make these without handling anything smaller than 1" and most of what I do is 1 1/4" or 1 1/2"

My mom was an antique collector all my life and she was a dealer for awhile so I collect a lot of collectibles and I am drawn to furniture like this pie safe. It is the only one I have seen that is this tall. It stands 6" tall. My reproduaction one is only 4". The tin panels made a good background to show the magnets.
Thanks for the kind words! I love my pie safe too! Inside it I use it to hide the tv and videos my grandkids use. The bottom has blankets they use when they stay on the weekends.

Loretta yes I could do a Dear Jane quilt but my life is too busy to find the time. Plus I hate!! long seams so don't do big quilts any more. The one I looked at looks very interesting tho! I like to make samplers in my hotpads. Might get some inspiration from a Dear Jane quilt. I am always on the lookout for new ideas. I like variety and adding new patterns to my inventory.
