Wrinkle in Time...

For many years I've had a bag in my basement full of treasures and I didn't even know it. My mom had asked for her grandma's old fabric scraps when she retired from quilting and since they live overseas I'd been storing it for her. Finally, my husband said, what's with that bag downstairs? So, after my mom went through it last time she she visited me she told me I could have what was left. Well, there was a lot left and I'm finally getting to post about it. Here's what I found in the bag of fabric from my Great Grandma G. who's 96 and still going strong.

I'm not sure, but I think the yellow fabric above is from my mom's going away dress from 1975.

These two are my favorites, of course there's only enough to make a head scarf out of each.

There's been a couple of surprises in the bag too, like when I opened up this fabric, it turned out to be almost finished pants. Look how high they come up! I love it! I'm wondering who Grandma made these for!!!

There was a finished dress in the bag too, it just needs a belt. What's weird is that it fits me perfectly, could it be...genetics? Ben wants me to wear it as my Easter dress, whaddaya think?

So, I'm modeling my new dress for Daddy and Z walks in and sees me. He immediately runs to my stash of aprons and finds my Texas flag apron and wants to put it on...so he can match Mommy! Aaaaah!

There was also a beautiful quilt that just needs a back to it. Anyways, it's been really fun to go back in time. I've already made a couple of hair bands out of some of the fabric and used some for the pocket of this bag:
