vintage tin

get your kicks

ptomaine poisoning central

a woody and a teardrop camp trailer - good times ahead

speed limits are not suggestions

 roads ... streets ... highways

so many freakin' spokes

 a long, long time ago

yep - that's a link to "american pie" 

for your listening enjoyment

someone who shall remain anonymous

but her initials are Melissa

anywho

a long, long time ago someone started the embroidery for  Vintage Tin  (of Crab-Apple Hill fame) with the block she liked the most - Route 66

that one block was about 20% stitched for a looong time

i pestered her about it

 but she remained uninspired

and i said 

no more embroidered quilt patterns for you

and she said 

but i love embroidered quilts and i really love Route 66 and i really, really want the quilt and i really, really, REALLY don't want to stitch it

so

 a bargain was agreed upon 

she will do the tracing and i will do the stitching

and then she will do the piecing 

after i do the trimming

someone is getting the short end of the stick 

 and i don't think it's the original someone

just sayin'
