"Evil will triumph if good men...and women do nothing."
my adaptation of a quote by Edmund Burke.
Quilt Mystery...Easy Street!! by Bonnie Hunter
One thing comes to mind when I hear "Easy Street"...NEW ORLEANS...aka as "the Big Easy". However, Mardi Gras colors just didn't appeal to me right now. I wanted to do something in more subdued colors. Upon further thought of the name...the following came to mind.
My son loves the 'Band of Brothers' about the Easy Company of World War II. He can tell you which battle was fought, and where and loves Captain Winters and the men of Easy Company. These men are real life heroes.
So, 'Easy Street' has been renamed... 'Easy Company'.
The colors that I picked are Americana. I labeled each fabric as to Bonnie's colors.
I love my reds and navy blues. They just scream Americana to me! I am not necessarily fond of the particular camouflage fabric I have...but since I already own enough yardage...I am going to use it. I have several background fabrics in neutrals that have stars, baseballs and other things that can be considered 'American' in nature. There is even a piece with hot dogs at a picnic with tiny flags. How could I resist using it! The gold should tie everything as it will be a constant throughout the quilt.
Even though I am not able to start right away on the mystery...I plan to save the steps and start over the Christmas break.
Thank you Bonnie for yet another wonderful 'gift' this year! Your mysteries are the bomb!!
I will show my progress as I make some.
Trade sweetness for Strength
Trade doubt for Belief
Trade fear for Courage
Trade SOCCER...for NOTHING!!!
LADYCAT SOCCER is HEADED to STATE!!!!!
After a grueling double overtime game at Divisions...a game that lasted nearly 110 minutes (versus the usual 80)...our girls came out on top. Seated #3 in the North...we are headed to the State Championship this Friday night.
I have been a follower of Bonnie Hunter's blog...Quiltville Quips & Snips... for a long time. She is unable to host the Yard Sale Saturday...but Suzanne at Colorado Lady has graciously offered to host it. Yay Suzanne!
I have a few items that I would like to list for the sale.
My girls are going to Divisions and hopefully State for Varsity Soccer...and I could really use the money to go and support them.
UPDATE: The Girls won at Divisions...and are now headed to STATE!!
