Scrap!

No that's not a cuss word (I don't think.) I have been scrapped by Breathe and as far as I understand, the rules are to list 10 pieces of material that I would put on a quilt for sentimental reasons (and the reasons). So I'll have to think about it and post as I find them.

1. When we were married, my husband's family made some purple silk rose bird seed throwers. I kept a couple dozen in vases for several years, then reduced to a half dozen. Now I just have 1 or I would get one and use the material for scraps.

2. The baby blanket my daughter used. It's soft blue and really soft. It has a silk trim that she used to rub across her face. She called it "Mine." I had to wash it when she was asleep and make sure it was dry when she got up. She took it everywhere with her. If she left it somewhere she would not go to sleep. The other cool thing about that blanket was that it was her dad's when he was a baby. He carried it until he was 4. It is now a holey blanket and threadbare. It's just in the keepsake box.

3. Then there's my baby blanket. It's really a crib sheet but I shredded it from carrying it so much. It's white with blue sheep.

4. My dress blues with the chevrons from my short military stay. The Air Force issued me my husband, my daughter, and a college education. I would do it again if I had to start over.

5. A square from the quilt I gave my mom before she died. It's white background with blue star pattern.

6. A collection of material from my stepmom who just passed away and left a ceder chest full of quilt material to me.

7. Some leather from my first saddle, and some purple cloth from my first horse blanket. Since I'm still using them, this might be difficult. I have only had them a couple of years.


(That's all I could think of right now.)
