I pulled the totes with quilts down from the top shelf of my closet, just to check them and get them ready to set under the Christmas tree for my peeps, and I noticed this small section of quilt block with type print. Do you see it?
On closer inspection I could tell it was part of the sewing instructions, printed on fabric, for a doll she sewed. The woman had BAGS and PILES and BOXES of scrap fabric, and that's the piece she used on a quilt?
The funny thing is, I think my sister has that doll. Mom really had a Cute Self sense of humor - I can see her laughing about this, knowing we would find it someday because we always had to examine her quilts to see which fabrics she chose. So funny!

**I am flipping the script on menus, eating non-traditional breakfast foods in the mornings (sammies, etc.), main meal at lunchtime, cereal at night. My dietician thinks its a plan that might work for front-loading most of my calories and getting just enough food to keep my tummy happy at the end of the day. Wish me luck!**

That is so funny that she included the writing from the instructions in her quilt! I hope the meal flip works; they say eat breakfast like a king and dinner like a pauper, right?
Your mother was a talented quilter. I can sew but I'd never have the patience for doing that type of work. She even quilted something funny in her work! I love your blog; you are a talented writer.
