Feeling Bicentennial?
This is an old design from 1976.
I remember when everyone was talking about it and celebrating.
I was a kid ....thinking whatever, let's have fun!
My mom bought some plates commemorating it and it was all over the TV.
It seemed like everyone was excited about it.
Copy and save this if you like.

Mindy Lacefield has a great class on how to make these dolls... I highly recommend it!!
Summer!
I have had these blocks for years....and I love them.

Gosh Shirley, how I wish we were neighbors. Anytime I felt like I needed a pick me up I would stroll over to your house and knock on the door. Your place always looks festive and HAPPY! Thanks for the post and have a great weekend. Whoops....almost forgot.......what kind of cloth did you do your Halloween Goblins on. I think I'll order it and make it for a friend that eats, sleeps and dreams Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty! I think we would make great next door Neighbors! The fabric I used in the Halloween was tea dyed muslin available at most quilt shops...it's one step we don't have to do, dying fabric ...lol.
