Mine.
July 24th, 2008
Mine! Or as Doe told me (ala the seagulls from Nemo)… mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine…
Thank you all for your support - and helping to keep the American economy rolling. We’re all doing our part, eh. I called Flowers N Fluff and paid via phone, and sweet, sweet Robin from Robin’s Parcel Express picked it up for me and brought it too me at our Redwork Club at Karen’s house. Robin holding on tight as I snap her pic, and no time to fiddle with the camera… that’s a heavy table she’s holding!
Show and Tell at Redwork… Karen shows a goodie she found in Sweden recently. I think it says “stockings”.
Another Swedish gem. It says something in Swedish. We don’t know what. But it gave me the idea to embroider something that says, “Etwas auf Deutsch”, and I’ll be asked, “what does it say?“, and I’ll say… “something in German”. “No… what does it SAY?!“… again… “SOMETHING IN GERMAN”. Round and round I’ll go. Kinda scary how easily I’m able to entertain myself.
We all went gaga over the vintage Lady of the Lake quilt top one of the ladies brought.
The colors of the prints were amazing and in such great shape.
A very fun day, all in red. But sadly… there was a lot of blue too. Very, very, very blue.
Edited in: I do not know why the Anna Lena links are not working at the moment, but I’m sure they’ll be working again soon.

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
You did get the table! Cool!
The Lady of the Lake quilt is gorgeous.
July 24th, 2008Yay! I know you’d somehow end up with the red stuff!
July 24th, 2008Ah. What a happy ending. Congratulations.
July 24th, 2008I’m so glad you got YOUR red table. It had your name written all over it even before you called to pay for it!! Waiting anxiously for a picture of it all set up at home!!
July 24th, 2008Yippee! What fun that table will be! I personally LOVE your german stitchery idea. I’d totally fall for that, and likely more than once.
July 24th, 2008oh, lovely redwork! “strumpor” means stockings, and “glad såsom fågeln i morgonstunden” is “Happy as the bird in the morning”. (I’m norwegian) Something in norwegian would be “Noe på norsk”!
July 24th, 2008yay for you! If it was still there then it was meant to be. :-)
July 24th, 2008Lovely redwork there, ladies. Thanks for the peeks!
Ahhh something in German.
July 24th, 2008You kill me.
Love the table, the all fun photos. And yes, sad sad news.
You’re Hysterical! It would be so worth it to embroider that on a pillow just so people would ask. That would make a great Christmas gift for my German BIL — then when he opens it and everyone asks what it says, he could look like a total smart aleck!
And CONGRATS on the outstanding redwork job!
July 24th, 2008You better keep a close eye on that red table, I love anything red….teehee. The red quilt is gorgeous.
July 24th, 2008I’m sorry to hear about Anna Lena’s, I’ve ordered from that store and got a wonderful bundle of 30’s fabrics.
I love red work and red-and-white quilts!! I wish I could have been there.
July 24th, 2008Oh, I’m sooooo jealous!! I wish I had a red table and got to hang out with you guys! Guess I’ll just go to the Long Beach Festival instead. LOL!!
July 24th, 2008oh there you go with your goodies!! I cannot buy anything these days, must buckle down with these gas prices going up and all!!
Well I can live through you!
okay I must go to bed I have had 2 glasses of wine packed for Saratoga Springs and happy not to design any more Halloween in July for the moment!!
July 24th, 2008Jolly Fun Blog!
July 24th, 2008okay, i’m so happy you got that table. when you showed it the first time i actually called them to get it! then i decided shipping would be astronomical. i’m so glad you got it since you loved it so much. so you’ll have to take pics. of it all the time for me!!
July 24th, 2008Ooo, I can hardly wait to come out and have tea with you on your little red table!! :) I’m so glad you got it.
I might have to make a little “something in Japanese” now. You’re going to have us all making a “something in…” wallhanging. You little cult leader, you! :) We have to think of a name for our group. We should all wear solid colored prairie dresses.
I got the news about Anna Lena’s. Sad for the coast people. I hope Karen enjoys “retirement”.
July 25th, 2008What a fabulous table to go with your redwork group efforts. While I adore redwork and have a project in the works myself, I admit that blue is my favorite color. Not just any blue, mind you, it has to be a soft worn chambray kind of blue, like sea glass. Anyway, the redwork articles you show in your pictures are beautiful.
July 25th, 2008Oh, looks like you’ve had some fun! : )
July 25th, 2008So you finally got that red table! Can’t wait to see its new home.
July 25th, 2008Loooove the red table, what a great find! The swedish linens and old red and white quilt are also so charming. x
July 25th, 2008OK …. so there was just no living with you until you got that red table !!!!(did you utilize the whining method, the crying method, the pouting method, the starvation diet method, or the silent treatment method …. all perfected by Lucy when she wanted Ricky to buy her either new living room furniture, or a Jaque Marcel designer dress in Paris…. I know…. I need to get a life!) Anyhow, enjoy that cute table!!! and … all of those redwork projects are great!
July 26th, 2008Love, love that red and white quilt. And the table - WOWIE, ZOWIE. You are so lucky, you lucky girl!!
July 26th, 2008Woo Hoo! The table is YOURS - it always was, wasn’t it? Had your name written all over it - can’t wait to see it in it’s new home.
July 27th, 2008Love the redwork! It is sad news about Karen, but hopefully someone will purchase the shop! How ’bout you and me, girlfriend?
Love the “something in German” - too funny!
No!!!! Not Anna Lenas!! I can’t believe they are closing! Now I have no reason to go to Long Beach. I am glad you got your table though.
July 27th, 2008I’m going to have to steal that “something in German” for a gift for my cousin or Tante. What a riot!
July 28th, 2008I, too, am so glad you got the table and chairs that were meant to be yours! I’ll bet the aqualicious boots aren’t too far away from them.
