Oh what some well placed color and fabric can do!

A lovely color addition you could make with some of your favorite cottons. You could dress up some ready made towels with some decorative edges and make some one of a kind pot holders. Click on over to Saido da Concho to see more pictures of her sweet kitchen.
Then, sew up something pretty for your kitchen! ~rosie~

Well, actually, these are very pretty to me…

International Harvestor Pillow Panel
I grew up on a dairy farm with rolling pasture lands and fertile fields. My father had a very particular view on the “best” tractors.

Only the red ones were good enough for our farm ~ no green (John Deere) ~ only red! Don’t tell my Dad, but I’d take any ole’ tractor right now if it had a front end loader to help get rid of all this snow! OK, I realize for you non-farmers, I may sound like I am talking gibberish! I will refrain from questioning why the farmer is mowing his pasture with a windrow when it is evident that his cows are doing a fine job keeping it at a proper height.

Look! There is even a farm scene with Holstein cows just like we had
OK, I’m done for now, but you may see these fabrics again if I do a quilt out of them for my Dad for Father’s Day. Just one more personal thought and then I’ll go back to flowers and birds, and retro, and all the wonderful non~farm related fabric collections ~ my Daddy turned 90 yesterday and he is fit and strong and doesn’t look a day over 65! Happy Birthday Daddy!!

p.s. I am finding my personal stash on Ebay. If any retailer would like to share links it would be much appreciated
