I spent yesterday with Mom, trying to help her with a few things for today. I really don't do all that much for her other than wash dishes and keep the dogs out of her kitchen but she tells me that it helps her a lot. And we always manage to have a few good laughs too!
I started a new crazy quilt piece last night while watching The Ten Commandments. I always loved that movie! It's so melodramatic but very colorful and I love the music! And the special effects are pretty good considering is was made in the 1950's.
So here is Betsy Ross:
I always hand sew the lace and trim on. The lace at the top right is antique and the lace underneath Betsy Ross is from a vintage wedding dress. It the kind of lace that has netting as a foundation so I had to carefully cut the netting away to use the flowers. This is ready for stitching now. I may have some stitching time later when we get home from Mom's.
For now, Scott and I going to head out to Grayslake Flea Market and walk around there. If I find anything interesting, I'll share photos tomorrow.
I'd like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! Stay away from the jelly beans. Chocolate is healthier!
