It reminds me slightly of Holly Hobby from my childhood. Thanks for any help. :)The Chapman'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231410748135185049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579333661679660473.post-49571862421913870082009-10-15T18:52:50.584-07:002009-10-15T18:52:50.584-07:00Miri,

When the house had been first built, my husband's grandmother would have three other ladies (that's all that would fit) come over and they'd quilt a quilt for Baptist Children's Village every Thursday afternoon for years.<br /><br />What wonderful conversations they must have had, right there in what became the nursery for each of my three children. I hoped they could absorb some of the echoes of their great-grandmother's kindness and generosity.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting Lawn Tea today!!<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579333661679660473.post-57807894514595827472009-10-08T20:24:04.082-07:002009-10-08T20:24:04.082-07:00My best dress in 7th. grade was a yellow flocked n...My best dress in 7th. grade was a yellow flocked nylon!
