Today I have block #4 of my Crazy Memento Quilt:
The little snowman was found in a box of things that belonged to Scott's grandmother. She was so sweet! And unfortunately, other than a few things that she made for me, I didn't have anything else from her that I could use on this quilt.
After embellishing this block, I had to glue the snowman on using E6000 jewelry glue.
The little deer is a pin that I found at a flea market a few years back. He's on a little spring so he moves around a little bit! Too cute! I think I only paid $1.00 for it.
The two trees at the top are from a beaded Christmas sweater that I found at a flea market for $5.00. I bought it mostly for the beads but decided to keep a few of the trees to use. I spent hours and hours taking the beads and sequins off of that sweater!
Here's a photo of Grandma and Grandpa Kellogg:
This photo was taken in 1934. Grandma Kellogg was a tiny little lady. And Scott's grandfather looks like a gangster in this photo, doesn't he? Sign of the times! LOL!!!
Grandma Jammies? Done and dusted!
-
Yes, the Grandma Jammies are done! Four pairs of kid-sized (tops and
bottoms) and four pairs of adult-sized lounge pants. All waiting to be
wrapped up...

Very festive block. I like the snowflakes. Great pic. I love old photos. I always look through them at the antique stores.
Perfect use for those beaded trees - such a pretty block Pam. Nice to see family heirloom photo too.
Is he the Kellogg of breakfast cereal fame?
