While I'd been saving fabric to make my first quilt, I didn't actually make it until 1985. Because I'd been making most of my own clothing for years, that first quilt was a hot mess, denim from he jeans I cut off into shorts every spring. Leftovers from all the shirts I made. White fabrics from the uniforms I made for my waitress job. Some kind of polyester type fabric that I made into a suit for my first job interviews. I still have that quilt, but I stopped using it about 5 years ago. I look at it now and then to remember each of the fabrics and who I was at the time.<br />CathyQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179692688604953170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-56729025879548426632015-01-30T21:51:14.551-05:002015-01-30T21:51:14.551-05:00Ooooo want to make the Box Kite Quilt...

Definitely adding that to my bucket list! <br />My daughter will be graduating from Wake Forest this year and I'm going to have to tell her to visit Mary Jo's before she moves to Albany for her new job. Maybe we can even squeeze in a trip around all the graduation festivities. Oh that Mountain view... so beautiful!

I used them to make one piece rompers for my son Jeff. Most of the remnants were bought at T G & Y. And I sewed on my mother-in-law's featherweight that I put on the organ bench and used a my child's chair. Like you I had to put it away when Jeff awoke from his nap. As a two year old he fascinated by and wanted to sew on that little machine.

She's HOOKED for sure now. Glad you 3 shared the Retreat with Mona too. What a great time you have had and we got to peek in just a bit... Thanks for always sharing. The Box Kite looks wonderful over the fence railing. Waving HI from Washington State. I lived up the road in Mesa back in the early 80's we were almost Neighbors. I could have met you at the Hancock store.

I too sewed on a little Singer and later a small Kenmore when the Singer broke down. I also set up in the mornings and put away at evenings.
