Thrifty Thursday: blue stoneware
Hello friends. For this Thrifty Thursday, are two cute little blue stoneware pots from our local Salvation Army store. Very patriotic, aren't they? They were also a real find at just .25¢ each. They look great with my other Americana/patriotic goodes. Perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday. Prim Summer blessings (the Summer solstice begins in 2 days!).

Another doll-sized quilt
This is a photo of the 2nd doll-sized quilt that I have sewn. This pattern is called Garden Gate, and is a free pattern by: Eleanor Burns' Quilt In A Day. This one has been re-sized, and is 15"X15" square. The fabrics are 100% cottons in soft pastel shades. Do you recognize the pretty yellow floral print, from the Secret Garden Precious dress? The binding corners are squared. I am still learning how to make nice, sharp flying geese points. Do you have trouble with that also? One great tip is to sew the flying geese squares beginning and ending 1/4" from the corners. This helps them to fold easier and correctly when adding the border or binding.

Aqua and brown batik dress
Here is another dress and a hair bow for my granddaughter, using Simplicity 2063 pattern again. The pattern is so cute, 'just couldn't resist. This dress is made of 100% cotton batik, in aqua and dark brown colors. Aqua seems to be one of the "in"colors this season. When my daughter was younger, I honestly never thought of brown for little girls' clothing. The times and styles have certainly changed since then. Please continue reading.
