Happy Sweet Tuesday

  • feeling or showing pleasure or contentment:

Thank you to our 

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   

Once again I'm making a memory quilt for my neighbor. 

HEADS UP   

this may or may not be displayed on my blog.  It has been a bear.  She wanted  all of her deceased sister's favorite  knitted sweaters/tops made into a quilt. 

Needless to say this was my 😱when she texted her request?!  You may or may not see the rest of this story. I (strongly) advised her not to use the knitted sweaters due to raveling and stretching.  She actually said I don't mind if the quilt is a bit catawampus.  

Anyway Burney's Sweets and More is in the same shopping center as JoAnn's Fabrics. We needed to go the JoAnn's to pick out fabric for the border and backing. She suggested we go to Burney's for sweets and coffee.

WOW 

 

As you will see from the next photos  Bruney's makes it hard to decide so of course one has to return

Note top shelf last tray on the right...they had a Croissant topped with Maple Syrup and Bacon bits.

I ordered a to go bag  one topped with brown sugar
and one filled with apples.


Jane and I ordered a Fudgy Croissant


No matter the outcome of this quilt, I will have sweet memories from Burney's and the quilt will give Jane sweet memories of her sister.

Surprise 4 tops were silky voile type fabric.
 Here is a pic of 3 rows of  10" sqs sewn together and 2 rows (top and bottom rows) of 5" rectangles. 

This is the memory quilt I made (2019) for her from her mother's blouses.  Originally there were two one for Jane and one for her sister.  I joined them for her in 2021.  I was very pleased with this one.  95% cotton blouses.  YAY

  2. Oh how sweet of you to do this for your friend. Looks like a place to load up on a lot of calories :)

  3. What an amazing gift for you friend! I'm glad that bakery is half across the country. I'd need to walk that far to walk off the calories of my visit!

  4. i had to stop typing to let the drool on the keyboard dry from just LOOKING at those showcases. I LOVE CROISSANTS, even with nothing on them. I can no longer eat them and they are a favorite. that is a really pretty little resturant. the quilt with 95 blouses is really pretty and i am in shock that someone had that many blouses. totally amazing. i am thinkig sweaters will not go well. good luck

  5. Oh boy - all of the goodies look amazing and I would have trouble choosing just one! The memory blouse quilt is so beautiful!

  6. That is a quilt request we would never think of in a million years, the blouses is another odd one. I guess everyone has their special ways they remember their loved ones. You are very kind to help her out with the sweater one. That won't be easy.

  8. The sweet treats are a fun reward before you start the project,lol. I really think the ones you made earlier and then joined are quite lovely. Wishing you the best on sewing the sweaters and no matter what, I am sure the finished project will be appreciated.

  14. That's mighty nice of you to make that quilt. I think that pastry display looks wonderful, one of each please!

  15. You did a great job!!! I have someone making 2 quilts with my sister's clothes for her granddaughters. I had to do all the cutting and placing though. XO

  16. The croissants look delightful.

    It's very nice of you to do the quilt. Sweetie, Brother-in-Law and Their Sister all have quilts made from their mother's dresses. She knew she was ill and dying and cut up her own dresses and pieced them all ready. Their Sister had them finished with the backing after she was gone. All 3 are treasured.

  18. Oh my - that choice of pastries is a toughie - I think I'd get one of each (or maybe two???)! As for the quilting project - you are fast becoming the Queen of Quilts. I think you had a challenge with the request but as you always do, you aim to please and the quilt will be treasured forever......memories make lovely quilts.

    Hugs, Pam
