album cover from the early days |
We got to Stoughton mid-afternoon, in time for me to go into Saving Thyme . It's a very cheerful quilt shop in a renovated (=gutted and rebuilt) early 20th century building right on the river. Lots of bright, modern prints and batiks. I meant to get an even dozen fat quarters but it turned out I only got 11, and five half-yards of black-and-white prints.
I could call this "Olympic baskets," because that's what I watched as I pieced completed the flimsy. But Lulu's Baskets it is (see last week's DWM for the reason). As I write this post (Sunday evening) I have the center half-quilted.
I'm linking up with other quiltmakers for Design Wall Monday at Judy's Patchwork Times .
Lulu's basket is wonderful! What Spring like colors. I know we're gonna get some warmer weather soon.

ReplyDeleteHaven't met a basket I didn't love. Great colors.
ReplyDeleteFabulous baskets!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of Tom Rush in years. I saw him in Lakeland Florida in about 1975. Thanks for sharing. And I love the baskets.
ReplyDeletefolk music, my favorite!! I will have to check out Tom Rush. internet radio is wonderful, you get set it to what you like and wuilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat baskets esp with piano key border. Well done. I just feel like singing some folks songs now.... hang down your head Tom Dooley, etc.
ReplyDeleteHi Nann! It's great to hear Tom Rush is still out doing gigs. I see he still has that great mustache! LOL His versions of Circle Game and These Days are two of the most soulful songs I've ever heard. Maybe it's because I first became a fan as a teenager, but boy oh boy, these songs really stir up a lot of emotion for me. I am going to have to find out if he's coming anywhere near Philadelphia.
