I've not had much time for blogging lately so am trying to catch up as I'm able. I'm sorry about the loss of your mother in law and that you were unable to remove the rust stains from her lovely quilt. I've not tried those frozen dinners but just might give them a try. Glad you have some sunshine. It's nice to get acquainted virtually ;-)<br />Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-49178085290787806492010-03-08T20:49:40.725-06:002010-03-08T20:49:40.725-06:00the quilt is beautiful and your lesson learnt is v...the quilt is beautiful and your lesson learnt is very true. <br />Stuff should be used not stored away.<br /><br />Oh I need to go get myself a dress too.<br />Happy week.<br />love the quote!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520389870464970942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-37118731497467562312010-03-07T09:54:03.935-06:002010-03-07T09:54:03.935-06:00Have you asked at the dry cleaners about rust stai...Have you asked at the dry cleaners about rust stain removers? (Are the stains from rusty pins?) Your mil quilted beautiful things!<br /><br />After my parents passed away (and they didn't have a lot of stuff because THEY had cleaned out THEIR parents' homes and vowed to not do that to us) I evaluated my possessions and continually work at 'minimalizing' my stuff. I'm mostly successful in areas other than books and fiber :)Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-88558744646909880672010-03-07T01:05:37.169-06:002010-03-07T01:05:37.169-06:00I hope you will find something to remove the stain...I hope you will find something to remove the stains from that quilt... but maybe they'll lend a certain vintage feel and still be useful and beautiful.

She was getting it for her end of the year eighth grade dance.<br />Jerri, it's beautiful. She looks gorgeous. But she doesn't look 13! She doesn't look like my baby girl! AAHHHHHH!!!!!<br />Thanks. I feel better. Had to get that out. *grin*Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-8080180955532322122010-03-06T07:30:22.675-06:002010-03-06T07:30:22.675-06:00The quilts are a true treasure!

I'm sure it is gorgeous hanging on a rack, though - especially against blue walls.<br /><br />I've been decluttering in my house lately - and, about 2 years ago, I decided that if I wasn't going to use something, I shouldn't have it. I also decided that if I was keeping something for sentimental reasons (I have plenty of that stuff), I need to put a note with the item so that when my kids have the job ...oops, I mean joy...of going though my things they at least know why I kept something - then they can pitch it intelligently. :)<br /><br />I've found plenty, though, that even I do not know why it has been kept. If I don't know why I kept it, it gets thrown out. <br /><br />Yay for getting some new dresses! Good for you!<br /><br />BTW....good to see you able to do this post!Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633714411687511297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-51140670290369891102010-03-05T23:50:41.281-06:002010-03-05T23:50:41.281-06:00New dressses are so much fun!

Not much chance it's going to GO anywhere is there? <br /><br />I agree with that Christian Family statement! It will certainly be a MIRACLE if mine ever is one! But... miracles DO happen!<br /><br />I need to go shopping for a new EASTER dress! And I can't wait! I sO hope Easter is WARM this year! Last year was flat out FREEZING!
