It has not even been a week and I have already completed one of my "small" quilts I bought at Road to California. I finished it this afternoon and I LOVE it!!

| Some of my FAVORITE colors ... RED and TAN. I don't usually use floral fabric but I really loved this one ... |
 |
| I'm ready for my close up Mr . De Mille. This little quilt kit was created by the girls at "My Red Door" |
Yesterday I took my friend Shirley to lunch for her birthday. She has been working very hard at releasing some excess body weight. When I opened my front door I was surprised to see how great she looked! 75 pounds gone, keep up the great job my friend.

| We shared this delicious dessert and even left some for the weight loss angels! |
Last week my friend Tanya brought me a very vintage mending kit. This little plastic box was probably popular in the late 40's or 50's. It holds 14 spools of thread a thimble, a pair of scissors, pins and a measuring tape. So darn cute. I had a box of vintage spools of thread so I moved them into the box.

| Each spool has a slot, you place the strands of thread through the slots and this way it is conveniently ready to use! |
 |
| With the lid up there are places for scissors, pins etc. It came with the thimble. |

I love the old wooden spools thread used to come on. Most of these are stamped with the thread information, a few have the papers on the ends. And some of them even have the price ... 15 cents! I pay $3.00 to $4.00 per spool now. Got to love inflation!
 |
| Sideways but you get the idea!! |
LOVE the new quilt, and the spool holder is adorable!!! I should of purchase the other 2 they had, and they were all different :)
