Guess...I am not a lover of creepy Hitchcock movies. Guess I am a wimp. Still remember seeing Rear Window at the movies and didn't like it. So you are a much stronger woman than me to be there alone watching it.<br />I wore some of those skirts back in the 50's. Just a standard gathered skirt for school took a full 3 yards. Underneath we wanted those net can cans to make the skirt stand out as much as possible so we sewed yards and yards and layers and layers of net to do the job. Sometimes ruffles. Wear several at a time. They would give you what they called a crinoline when you bought a dress but usually, we just dumped that wimpy thing for a real can can if the skirt was full enough. Thinking back, we had the Honey-Boo-Boo look at 16, except our skirts were below our knees.<br />Loved those skirts but sure don't miss the ironing we had to do.<br />The quilt looks great.Lois M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12627304166177597774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29176916672509208302013-12-21T20:29:36.263-05:002013-12-21T20:29:36.263-05:00love Rear Window.

Used to love to do that when I was little. We (3 girls) shared one can-can and took turns wearing it to church each Sunday! Mom even made us patch work skirts and somewhere there is a picture of the three of us and my sister's skirt is standing out then the other two are just hanging!

I am now 'stalking' your facebook page and blog several times a day. I am actually almost ready to sew Clues 1-4. A small distraction over the next few days will keep me occupied but I plan on doing some sewing before the end of the week. Thanks for everything!
