Mom didn't have enough of any one pink so was ready to run out and buy fabric but I convinced her to make the pinks scrappy. Use used about everything she has in this shade so I'm hoping we have enough.
Speaking of books, I bought this one about a week before my trip and had skimmed through it when it came but I took time to read through and study the photos when I was traveling yesterday and I've got a lot of fun ideas for my postcards. Some of the pieces don't appeal to me at all but even in those, I'm seeing neat ideas for beading, embroidery, and quilting stitches.I've never felt compelled to buy or subscribe to Quilting Arts magazine but I think this book changed my mind.

Quilting arts is full of ideas...other than the longarm mags, it's the only one I have a subscription to any more.
I got my copy of the book recently too...love it; it truely is a wealth of information and ideas.
Don't work Mother too hard!
Oh, I like the pink & white... so soft!
That pink is darling.
I love Quilting Arts and get it monthly. They always have something fascinating and many new techniques to try. They also break the instructions down so they don't look overwhelming. I like their Cloth Paper Scissors mag as well.
Have fun with your Mom
I too, have always wanted to make a pineapple quilt. I am going to make one from my scrap strips one of these days. Have fun sewing with your Mama! My Mom doesn't sew anymore, but I love it when she comes over and visits with me while I sew. :~)
Oh Mary, I'm excited with the pineapple pinks!
