As I'm sure you know, WOYWW is the brainchild of our desker Queen Julia, our beloved host at Stamping Ground.
I'm showing the back of this quiltlet, a REALLY belated Christmas present, because it's a gift for a friend who reads my blog. Thus the reason for hiding it.
Yes, I also staged and hid the book, because images from it will also be used as I create the quiltlet. Note also the tiny rocking horse clothes pins.
On the left, you can see one of the rockers has walked away. I wondered where it was hiding. In the middle, I tried to show the size of the clothes pins and rockers. On the right you can tell I've corralled the errant rocker, and must glue it back in place. Now you see why I can claim I own over 460 rocking horses. They can be functional as well as decorative!Thanks for visiting today. Your visit is always welcome, even though I can't leave comments to those on some G+ blogs, Instagram, Tumblr, and Facebook. For everyone else, I'll be by to visit and if you are coming from Julia's, please leave your number.
cute pins! I think you should claim that as an early for next year, present! Helen #? waiting
ReplyDeleteThose rocking horse pins are fun! Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like the genius at work sign that I spotted on your desk Elizabeth. You really do have a lot of different rocking horse items! Have a great week. Sarah #5
ReplyDeleteSo much fun there - or perhaps I should say sew much fun - lol! Thanks for sharing - Hazel #8 x
ReplyDeleteRocking horse clothes pins! Now I have heard of almost everything! LOL They are cute though. I wanted to stop by and tell you that I did join the Inspired by challenge as you suggested. I hope I did it right. Thank you. #10
ReplyDeleteWell I never! Where on earth did you find those rockers? They are wonderful and I can imagine them being used to peg clothes on the line - a row of rockers! Sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the quiltlet - hope we get to see it at some time.

Those clothes pins are brilliant, though I was looking for the sort of pins I have for quilting- then realised clothes pegs as I call them :-) Have a great day. Anne x #10

Good Morning...Oh the guilt I feel when I see a sewing machine. Have so many ideas and just haven't had the spunk or fire to tackle that new one I have. "Computerized" mistake ! But I've had enough other things to keep me occupied. Some time email me your mailing address, when I find a small rocking horse or 2 in my rubble I'll mail it too you. I am weeding out ALL unused treasures !!! I've kinda boxed up my collections...so many and when I am done gathering I'll re locate a few of them within our home. Bugs, Heat, standing Water, closed windows, have created a weird summertime here. I think all of the states have had extreme things this year. Fires, Water, winds, political messes, but I keep praying ! Have a good week and Happy WOYWW
ReplyDeleteLove the little rocking horse pegs and I’m really hoping to get to see the quilt when it’s finished.

A quintet in progress, how lovely! As we’re at the half way point, you could call it an early Christmas gift really! I spot a postcard of London scenes, postcards are still amongst my favourite sort of mail! I like the rocking horse pegs, they are very little - nice to collect something that can be used as well as making a nice display, huh.
ReplyDeleteWOW.. you even own rocking horse clothes pins! They look great!
ReplyDeleteHappy day my dear Co.-Admin!
Hugs, Susi
I like your horsey pegs! Good luck with the quilt, hope you'll show us the finished item! xx

Until you did a close-up, I thought the rocking horse clothespins were some sort of floral picks. The rocking horses are very cute. Love the genius at work sign, too. Have fun working on the quiltlet
ReplyDeleteOh wow those rocking horse pins are Amazing! they must make you smile to use them-
ReplyDeleteNICE clothespins. Did you (or someone) make those or can you buy such fun ones? I am always amazed how clean you work area is. You should see mine and I even picked it up a bit. Hope you have a better day today. Hugs-Erika

What dear little rocking horses, Elizabeth! I don't think I've ever come across anyone who collected rocking horses before or who had so many! They are so charming. Thank you for your lovely comment and I'm so glad you enjoyed my projects, and especially our kitties! They are endlessly entertaining!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,

ReplyDeletekyla
Hi Elizabeth & Bleubeard, those clothes pins are a delight though I can't see you using them to hang anything out on a line with them, especially if the rocking horses have a tendency to go walkabout, or should that be rockabout! Look forward to seeing the finished quilt project. Elizabeth x #32
ReplyDeletewhat adorable clothespins! Thanks for sharing those, Elizabeth. Thanks also for your visit last week. Sorry I'm late getting 'round. Will explain tomorrow. Creative Blessings! Kelly #39
