HOLIDAY LANE...GMAMA STYLE


HOLIDAY LANE...
IT'S GMAMA'S TURN

This is my very FIRST Pillow
BLACK AND WHITE
WITH
RED ALL OVER
A DIFFERENT TWIST TO THE HOLIDAY LANE THEME

I had fun adding the little details...like my red bird on a snow white tree.
or
The red door with a vintage button from my Mother's 70 yr. old button box!

Another red vintage button from Mother's Button Box
Like my crazy red tree?

I can almost smell the *embroidered* wood smoke  coming out of the red Chimney

The window panes are embroidered with white embroidery thread

I would love to walk the streets of this snowy little town.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

5 Pillows goes to Pauline, Quilt n Queen for being the Hostess with the Mostess, Jill for being the Creative Genius behind the Holiday Lane Pillow pattern and last but certainly not the least, Madame Samm for being Head Cheerleader/Vision Queen at Sew We Quilt...Whoo Hoo!!

Blessings

WE ARE MARSHALL...WE WILL NEVER FORGET


WE ARE MARSHALL
My Alma Mater
1975
I meant to post this on Nov. 14th but did not get it done. 
Please forgive me for not posting in such a long time.  We are still remodeling and many days I have gone without touching the computer.  All I could do was paint, saw, or empty boxes.  Things are winding down and life is returning to some stage of normal.  My family is arriving from all over the southeast for Thanksgiving Holidays.  Thus, my need to get this remodel finished!
Springhill Cemetary Graveside Memorial for the 6 unidentified bodies
killed in the Nov. 14th, 1970 Plane crashed that killed the Marshall University Football Team, Coaches,
Booster Club members, and plane crew...  Total of 75 people lost their lives on that cold rainy night when a Southern Airways plane few into the side of a mountain, missing the runway by 100 ft. due to a broken Altimeter.
My husband was recruited after the crash to play football and his team, The Young Thundering Herd, is the focus of the movie, WE ARE...MARSHALL starring Matthew McConaughey, Matthew Fox, etc...  We were consultants on the movie and even got to be in some of the crowd scenes.  I encourage you to rent the movie.  It's a great story and ALL TRUE.  FYI:  the church scene is where we were married!  Let me know if you saw the movie.

Read the story HERE



In the middle of Huntington, West Virginia there's a river

. Next to this river there is a steel mill. And next to the steel 

mill there is a school. In the middle of the school, there is a 

fountain. Each year on the exact same day, at the exact same 

hour, the water to this fountain is turned off. And in this 

moment once every year, through out the town, through out 

the school, time stands still."

Opening lines in the 2006 Movie, WE ARE...MARSHALL
