TGIF EVERYONE

Hello everyone, Happy Friday, Doing the Friday Dance  :::::)))))  Well, even though this is a Quilting Blog had to just share some photos of ......."Cooper", Yes, it has been awhile and my handsome 4 yr old Doggie got a haircut today and shampoo and his nails clipped, so just am showing off here with some pictures....well, in this one he is sticking his tongue out at me, but what a guy....

First,

Here is Cooper's Domain, yes he even has two pillows with his name embroidered on them!  What a life.....

And, he is showing you all how he can give you his paw.....awwhh, isn't that cute, ofcourse, you can't see the milk bone I am holding.....but what's a pribe anyway...

Well, I just had to, I know I take toooo many pictures of Cooper but he is such a good boy!  Hope everyone has a Beautiful Weekend, here in Chicago, it is in the 50's, rainy and time for me to go to bed, so bye for now...

Hugs,

Mary & Cooper  :)

ANTIQUE QUILTS

Happy Friday Everyone,

Was out shopping with my Sister and we came across a Antique Store and looky what I found...

The green tree of life quilt (I think that is what it is called is 1860 circa all handmade, no batting so I think it was a utilitarian quilt, but I just loved how soft it looked so ofcourse had to buy and the second quilt - Carolina Lily was all hand made in Ohio Circa 1895!!  Can you believe it, I bought that one as well, so there goes all my "fun" money, but the Lily one I put on my bed and the green tree of life is displayed in my foyer!    I love to look at both of these and think "who made these" I wish I new the ladies the Green one had a tag that said Washington D.C. and the Lily was made in Ohio.....WOW  it is fun to go shopping when you find Beauties like these!!!

Hope everyone has a Great Weekend,

Hugs,

Mary
