I was cleaning out the closets to wash all of the quilts before the electric company replaced my meter ha ha. And I found this quilt I made for Holly in 2002.(Seethe tag in the lower left hand corner with the date on it) Wow she was just 4 years old.I took her to the fabric store and let her pick out the fun fabric that I made the bricks with and my husband drew a Gumby out and I turned it into a block.He loves Gumby. There is no telling how old the other Sunbonnet Sues were when I put them on this quilt.I was young ,young ,young when I made them.This quilt is falling apart but we still love it.I thought you guys would get a kick out of seeing it too.
