I can't believe how fast the months go by lately, I never seem to have enough time to do what I had planned, so maybe I need to plan for holidays a year in advance, lol.
First I will announce the winner of the giveaway. Thank you for all of your ideas. I like the idea of wonky blocks, and fussy cutting too, I think I should be able to get at least 3 quilts with the material, so I can try different ones. The winner is lucky number 2, Lynn. Please email me with your choice of pattern from my ecrater site.
I was going through old photos in my san disk and found some Easter photos of my family and this one definitely goes on the worst dresses list;) These were from old slides, so I will have to go through them again, someday and do some work on them, so I can keep them for my kids.
Then I was looking at this one. I remembering thinking how proud we were to get out new Easter dresses, a big thing in our house and I always loved black. I am in the middle and my sister Candy on my left, our friend Beverly in the black sweater.
Then, for the first time, I realized something, my dress is the same one, as the one my sister Wendy is wearing in this photo, so much for me getting a new dress, lol. My mother was always altering things for us and being the youngest, I got all the hand me downs. You can see the dress pattern coming from under my sister's coat.

What treasured photo's! We were always thrilled as kids getting a new Easter dress.
These pictures are priceless! The outfits are fun! Congrats to Lynn!
Those pictures are just great!! I remember dressing up like that on Easter too with the hats - I think that I even had gloves. My kids think that I looked very odd! But the pictures are just priceless!
I love the photos...Easter dresses and hats...I always felt beautiful!
Congrats to Lynn! Oh what great pics - I love looking at old pics, I don't think we have any of Easter at our house. But I do remember being able to go shopping for a new dress every year - I think it was the only time I wore one, lol!
I have a couple of those 'classic' Easter photos, too. I remember the dresses being SO itchy. I was just never a girly girl *s*
What a treat to go with you down Memory Lane. Thanks for sharing, Debbie! ♥♫♥
what a a wonderful treasure you have and to share it with us is so neat. Every one looks so cute. Hugs, LenZie
Such fun photos! My mom would buy my sister and me matching dresses. Always so fun.
Love the pictures. You are giving me ideas of getting my mum's photo albums in order to scan them. Precious. Funny how we no longer dress up for holidays. I too remember having a special outfit for Easter. I also had 4 coats, one for each season. Now, people seem to wear whatever, even shorts in the middle of winter along with with sandals. Thanks for sharing your memories! Hugs!
