It's funny how the mind works. I was drinking my coffee this morning and poking around on Pinterest, two of my favorite addictions, when I stumbled across an Emmet Kelly figurine post under the "Everything" option in Pinterest. So, I started looking up Emmet Kelly figurines, which somehow also added a Precious Moments clown figurine in the search. So of course I had to reminisce and look up Precious Moments, as my aunt, my mother's sister and whom I am named after, used to cross stitch Precious Moments scenes. Many of the PM kids reminded me of another childhood character, Holly Hobbie. I bet you can guess what I had to look up next!
This is what the needlepoint work originally would have looked like on my quilt. |
