It was worth trying just to get her response. :)<br />You're such an inspiration you've inspired me to clean my windows. I've been putting it off because it seems like such a big task but one window a day is very doable. I thought when you pointed out the wine glass that you were going to say the trick is to drink wine while cleaning. That might help as well :) I hope the circus was spectacular!Rachaeldaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437603769773251690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-30840084707337656552017-04-30T10:19:23.994-04:002017-04-30T10:19:23.994-04:00So much fun here that you've shared.

I have that book, going to have to look through it again. I love your quilt. How is the progress of your medallion you are designing? I've been reading a lot about the minimalism movement, I like the look of the mantel. Thanks for the window cleaning recipe! I'm taking notes down. When the circus comes around for the last time we are planning on going to. My Mother never failed to take us when Barnum and Bailey came to town. Thanks for blogging!

Wonderful applique and the quilting is perfection!<br />Thanks for the window washing tip. Having to wash them is the one downside to having lots of windows--and I mean LOTS (64)!! I just ignore most of them.<br />Had to chuckle at Hanna's comment. I don't know what used to be on your mantel--I like what you show here, but it is sparse, if you are used to a full one.<br />We took our kids to the B & B circus years ago when they were young. We were gifted tickets or we wouldn't have been able to afford it back then.
