Young Quilters Long Ago

I found this picture online and absolutely love it. All the pretty girls in their long skirts, pretty blouses and cute hairdos working on their quilt blocks. They are wearing ribbons of some sort pinned on their bodices. All of the girls are so young and probably working on something for their "hope chests" - I don't think the young women of today have those, do you? Right in front is an open sewing basket belonging to one of the young ladies and another one is at the left. Wonder what they were talking about. Sweet, sweet picture. (Click to enlarge)

I like it too Carol and am trying to figure out how to use it in something "artsty". LOVE the pic of your Mum in the banner - you are so lucky to have so many of her! J

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
