Vintage Bracelets

Here is a sample of one of my most popular items, bracelets made from vintage material, and adorned with vintage buttons. They are adjustable to fit different wrist sizes, and super comfy! Each bracelet is lined with polka-dot material, because I firmly believe the world would be a happier place if we all wore more polka-dots!

I will be selling these and other BooDilly items most Saturdays at Eastern Market, or you can visit my Etsy store at www.sillyboodilly.etsy.com

Jacob's Ladder

Just though I post a picture of the blocks I've been working on. I started a few of them last summer and thought it was time I get back to them.

Feedsack Top

Needed to make something agricultural themed for the agricultural art exhibit at Eastern Market on July 14th. Decided to make this top out of an old chicken feed feedsack that I had laying around. The words say, "FUL-O-PEP Egg Breeder Mash" then there is an image of what appears to me to be two roosters fighting! Maybe they are just a little too ful-o-pep! The back of the shirt shows the list of ingredients that went into this potent mash.

Stash Addition

I don't usually show my fabric purchases. But....here are the goodies I picked up yesterday. Had to go to the town near my parents farm for some business. So had to stop in the local Ben Franklin store a five and dime department store don't know of any of you have heard of them. They have a nice fabric department. A good selection of quilt fabric. The thing I love about the store is they save their remnants and discount them 75%. They throw them in a big tub and you have to dig through to find what you want. It's been a year since I was there last.

So I bought..............
36 yards of fabric, 46 different pieces of various sizes, and I paid an average of $1.50 a yard. (Yes I took the time to figure it out when I got home)

A nice addition to my stash.

More From The Magic Garden

Here are some more photographs of the Magic Garden. I wish I could take credit for these photos, but that would have to go to my daughter Em, because I, like usual, forgot my camera at home. Thanks Em!

Angry Girl

Sometimes things don't go as smoothly as one hopes that they will. Many failed attempts today just to get a picture loaded. Feely a bit like my little Angry Girl quilt.

The Magic Garden

This face is a small part of the wonderfulness found in Isaiah Zagar's The Magic Garden.
My oldest just graduated high school and to celebrate we took a trip to Philadelphia's South Street. Seeing and walking through The Magic Garden was so exciting! Breathtaking, headshaking, and truly deserving of it's name. If you haven't been, go. ( It only costs two bucks and the money goes to the preserving of, in my opinion, this national treasure.)

Feathered Star

Wow that time can sure slip by fast between posts sometimes. I haven't been sewing a lot this month. I did get the star blocks done for this quilt and have made some progress on the applique.
