My mom saved these blocks I painted many years ago. I think I must have been about 10 years old, which puts the years in the early 70's. (I know I just dated myself!) I love these little blue kitties! We embroidered everything until Tri-chem came along and then we painted everything. I found this blue kittie fabric to use as sashing between the blocks. It was the perfect fabric! I hand quilted each block. My kitties are now complete!
Here are a few pressies just for leaving a comment on a blog! This blogging thing is soooo much fun! This one came from Luann at Bare Foot Quilter in the Garden. (I can't find her...her blog disappeared from my bloglines.) It is a darling sewing roll!
See the candle on the right? It smells yummy! It has a light in the center so I get the look of a candle and the smell of a candle without the smoke of a real candle. Thank you to my new blogging friends over at Prim Friends Network. You should check them out cause they have giveaways often!
Piece & Love,
Dawn

Oh gosh yes I remember Tri-chem. My mom had a box with it in and it would be so messy if you got into it. I would beg and beg her to use it and mostly she said no! Don't blame her now. She made several quiet books with it. In fact she made a bunch of stuff for a church bazaar with it. Oh - the good old days!
Never ever heard of it!! :o)
Love your little presents...
Never heard of Tri-chem. The kitty quilt is so cute.
I yea, I remember those paints. I even remember painting kittens. We made dish towels and quiet books with them. I remember they were kind of messy, and my Mom used a straight pin to seal them when we were finished using them. I thought they were so cool. Great memory--thanks!! Julie

We had something called Hobby Tex in Australia which sounds similar to Tri Chem - it was very popular in the mid 70's - I made lots of tablecloths and doilies - thanks for the memory!
oh you are so lucky - the sewing roll looks great.
