I've always liked pink and yellow quilts. I could use one of those Nanny broaches. Someone should start making them again and put them in quilt shops. They're a fantastic idea. Whenever we have a family gathering, I have to remember an emergency mending kit. It looks like a safety pin may be the only thing that wouldn't fit.
