Purple Shirley!

This is the little quilt I did for Daisy's Paint chip challenge (20" x 20"). I didn't make it to the December meeting so I'm not sure who has seen it. We had to include the four colors on our paint chip and could add one additional color. I chose lime green of course!

The title of the Post come from a neighbor of my mom's. My mother had a sage green living room and chose to recover a pair of side chairs in purple wide wale corduroy. A woman before her time, we all know now that purple and green are au currant. Her neighbor came over to see the newly redecorated room and could only exclaim, "Purple, Shirley!".

For Christmas Chloe got the greatest present since sliced bread. Deer, elk, and moose shed their antlers every spring and some enterprising entrepreneurs are picking them up, cleaning them, sanding them and selling them as dog chews (at a premium price). They do not splinter. However, dogs do like to playfully toss them in the air and my cousin's Rottweiler threw hers through the glass door of an antique china cabinet. Ooops!
