I have a backing to piece.

Actually, I already pieced a backing, the quilt and backing sat – and I just wasn’t happy with what I had decided to match with what. I KNOW – RIGHT?!

That is so unlike me….

But never fear, I’ll use the rejected back on something else….

Meanwhile…while I was in Huntsville, TX a couple of weeks ago ---I happened on a half price rack at Fabric Carousel…remember?

While putting fabric away today, I was about to refold this piece, and discovered that….WOAH! There is ENOUGH here and it looks really great with the top it is to be matched with!

So what does a girl in a pink mood do?

Pull out a pink machine and dress it up with pink thread and a pink crocheted and gifted spool pin doily!

I’m feeling pink all over!!

I love big prints for backs…they hide a multitude of sins!

This is Barbie, my 1950s pink class 15 Japanese import. Remember how she came to be?

I love the “MODERN” badge on her – she is definitely a Modern Girl, and if you look close you can see her crown, or is it a tiara?

She is a De Luxe Push-O-Matic!

She sews like a dream, and I am glad to have her out for a run around the block ---

You know things are really bad when it only took me 5 minutes to skim through a month’s worth of Craigslist to find out that there is nothing interesting in the way of vintage machines in my neck of the woods ---

Which means MORE SEWING TIME for me!

I also did a bit of picking up today…can you guess what I was after?
