Fabric from the last few days

I know, I know...I haven't posted in THREE WHOLE DAYS!!! Sorry, it's been a bit crazy. I've been busy doing other things (including washing and drying all of the fabric I've received thus far), and I've ignored my blogging responsibilities!

Here are the few fabrics I've received over the past few days. First up is a square from F. and R. C. at FLC. Thank you very much!

Next up is more FLC fabric - from the U. family! Mom C sent this cute print along with this note: "...the pattern, Memoirs from China, might be just the right square to complete Baby H's quilt. May it serve as a reminder that her roots will always be an integral part of who she is as her past becomes woven into her future." If memory serves me correctly, C also took the Quilt in a Day class many years ago. She and I also had fun last winter at the FLC cooking club. Thanks to Dad M, Mom C, and daughters S and R (both of these names are on our list of potential names!)




And finally, remember a few weeks ago when my aunt sent a square that had been from something of my grandmother's? Well, that got me wondering whether I had anything of my mother's that could be included in the quilt, but I don't think I have anything made of fabric that I am willing to cut up! I called my dad, who dug into the cedar chest in storage and found a few more things that I'm not willing to cut up!!! Well, not quite. He found a baby outfit of mine (he believes I wore it the first time they took me out after I was born) and a hand-embroidered dresser scarf that he thinks she made. One thing he did find that I think will make its way into the quilt is this fabric, which was from some curtains in the house. Thanks, Dad, for sending all of this to me!!!
