On Leap Year Day I realized the crocuses were arriving! Sure enough, we had flowers by Monday. It shouldn't surprise me too much, but I'm always excited to see the crocuses arrive! Spring is only 13 days away!
"Young Bessie" is my Pfaff and favorite sewing machine. She's at the repair shop for her annual tune-up and spa/cleaning treatment. I have plenty of binding to do here and am too busy with my lecturing to sew right now so the timing was perfect!
Speaking of quilts, I took two tops to my friend who does machine quilting and stopped on the way home to visit a flea market. I got a bolt of backing fabric for $10!! Yes a bunch of my quilts will have the same backing but I'm happy for the bargain. Then I saw this meme and it made me laugh and laugh:
Another find was this old photograph of our railroad station in it's hey day. I particularly love that you can see the old trolley in the photograph!
Well Miss Scout wants to go for her walk so I've got to get moving here.
Have a great day!

Hi Michele! Wow - $10 for a bolt of fabric is a great deal. And that meme goes perfectly with your find. HAHA! That's a pretty spiffy train station. Wow! Is it still operational and nearby? Yes to the crocuses! They are very welcome. Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne

all those dresses!!! how perfect. Your train station is so pretty and must have been a showpiece when first built. Good that you are busy at work! nothing growing here, but if it did it would have a pile of snow on it in no time.

How excellent to get a bolt of backing! Love the meme, too. lol Pretty crocuses. I'll have to see where they bloom around here.
Your crocuses are so pretty! I should plant some purple ones. Spring is on its way! That is a hilarious meme! Glad you found a good deal for backing fabric - it will be so handy to have that around.
The crocuses are lovely. Great old photo. Someone has been posting old photos of our little nearby town lately. I just love them.
Green with envy here to see your outdoor blooms. Fresh snow overnight made up for what the rain took away...however more rain in the forecast for the weekend, so. But it is heartening to see spring is arriving in NA. What a bargain your backing fabric was. That photo is a hoot. I too enjoy old photos; the trains were all the thing back in the day.
that fabric meme is fantastic! Reminds me of the sound of music and wearing matching outfits with my sister that my mom made us. Hope you had a good walk with Scout!
That picture is so funny! I bet that's happened! So nice to see the signs of Spring! Such pretty crocuses!
The meme reminded me of long time ago when one of Mama's friends sewed shirts, blouses, and a dress out of the same colorful yellow print for her children, who ranged in age from 2 to 10. :-)
