ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, dear Donna. Oh yes, it is a blessing to receive such beautiful blocks. Plus dear Penny sent me some other orphan blocks.

I am not sure if I will break the 200's this year, but we do have 211 more days left in the year. Hee! Hee! Thank you for the giggles and sweet visit. Hugs and Blessings.

DeleteOoh, Melisa, what wonderful Log Cabin treasures! Is there a chance you can date the fabrics in the blocks? I am curious as some of the strips look familiar. Maybe Penny would have an idea. I've also been enjoying catching up with the last few weeks of Pinker 'n Punkin. The new patriotic header is like a seek-and-find puzzle and I love all the little pillow stitches. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us, not to mention the thrift finds and the farm pix. Most grateful. Kris in WI
ReplyDeleteAaaw Happy Thursday, Kris. It is so good to hear from you. Penny said that her Great Aunt lived to be 86. I can imagine what a collection of fabrics she must have had. I cannot wait for you to see the other blocks . I have been oohing and aawing over the fabrics. Thank you so much for the kind compliments , Kris. You brought a big smile to my day. I wish you a wonderful and blessed weekend. Hugs
DeleteSuch a sweet gift from Penny. I think you selected the perfect name for this quilt, and I bet Penny agrees.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Jeanna. The blocks are the sweetest. I was moved to tears when I received the package. I am so very honored. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteThe log cabin blocks are amazing - you will do a fabulous job putting it all together. It is a special gift and treasure. You will value and appreciate the blocks. I can’t wait to see the finished quilt and maybe the other blocks from the box. Alicia
ReplyDeleteOh Alicia, I cannot wait for you to see the other blocks . They are equally as scrumptious as the few I showed here. I have been marveling over the fabrics. These were indeed a special gift and treasure. Thank you for the sweet visit. Warm hugs.
DeleteEnjoy building your log cabin quilt.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Kate. I hope you had a lovely day in the quilting room. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteI feel so blessed, Susie. I hope I am able to do the blocks justice. Miss Leona did such a beautiful job piecing them. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteThe fabrics in Leona's blocks remind me of my earlier work. Easy to date the era of small print, calicos and what followed, but all before the hand dyed, batik era. What a gift you are giving by finishing what Leona started.
ReplyDeleteAunt Leona's Log Cabin quilt is a sweet name, for sweet and cute blocks! Have fun with this new project, and thank you so much for sharing it and linking up. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of her to give you those blocks. This will be a lovely quilt project! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
