THE FORT.
The ediface was built over the weekend. Rebecca and Karissa find it a great sanctuary. I find it, well, I find it... priceless. One day, they will grow up and move to real homes, and forts will be a thing of the past.
Build away, girls. I think I am growing up.
My friend Heather gave me these blocks just cuz she's nice. I made them into a little runner. I love the swirliness of them. I think this block is called a snail's tail.
I found these 3 blocks at a yard sale for 25 pennies each. I decided they just needed a border and to be quilt into a runner. Just in time for Memorial Day and summer. I heart Americana. Plain and simple.
Maybe that's because I heart America...
Grateful for a nice Monday in my neck of the woods. Hope your Monday is nice, as well.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

I so miss forts and tents in the livingroom, it all goes by too fast! I love your new runners they came out great, I too will always love Americana its just in me!!LOL! Hope you ahve a wonderful day Julie!!:0)
Terrific fort!
I remember doing that as a kid! I used one of my mom's vases as an anchor for one of the corners...and it slipped off and broke. I've felt bad about it for years... but loved the fort !
Beautiful runners! I've never seen the 'snail' pattern ... it is beautiful!
Hope that the rest of your week is a great one :)
Amazing that, with all the technology kids have to play with today, the simple draping of blankets & quilts and making a fort still appeal.
I have made some of those swirl blocks in the past. I must have given them away because I never made anything with them. I enjoyed making them.
Hi Julie~ I looove the fort. It reminded me of when my kiddos were little.
You sure have been finding some fun things at yard sales. And the snail tail blocks....wow. Those are wonderful.
I would love to do an Americana swap with you. Say what and when and I'll get on it! I already have an idea for a little something. :)
