Rocky Road to Spotsylvania
by Barbara Brackman, 1989
I had to digitally reconstruct this quilt as I never got a good photo of it.
But here it is for
National Polka Dot Day
Here is my Grandma in a fashionable dotted suit in 1939.
My Grandpa, a retired fireman, has a fashionable dotted Dalmatian.

ReplyDeleteHappy Dot Day!
ReplyDeleteLove your dotted quilt and all the other inspirations. I hadn't thought of dots on a house! Thanks for mentioning my blog. Happy Polka Dot Day!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun polka dots. I have been collecting dots and plan on making one for my daughter, was thinking of doing a bubble blower with her sitting at the bottom and then the bubbles going up the quilt. That is the idea, now if I can figure it out;)

What fun, here's dot to you.
ReplyDeleteYou always amaze me!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid in the 70s there was a house a couple towns over painted just like the picture up there, dark grey or black with colored polkadots on it. It was definitely a different house with a porch, but now I wonder if they got the idea from that Life magazine picture?
